Best spots to watch soccer/football games in Amsterdam

Where to watch Ajax?

It has been a while since Ajax played so well as a last season. Although you prefer to be in the stadium, the tickets are often sold out quickly. Fortunately, there are enough cafés in our cozy city that broadcast the competition. We highlight a few cozy places for you!

* TIP: Be on time in your favorite cafe. During the past few games, many bars had already filled up a full hour before the game and you could barely enter. So make sure you arrive on time.

De groene vlinder

At De Groene Vlinder you are always in the right place for a nice drink. Every Ajax match is broadcast on two screens. Do you prefer to stand and watch the match on the big screen or rather sit in front of the television? The choice is yours, but be on time, because De Vlinder is almost always completely filled.

Bar leijten

Located on the corner of the Schinkelkade, Bar Leijten is always the right place for you. In this cozy café, they ensure that there is always enough beer, so that you can watch the game in a relaxed way. In good weather they sometimes want to put the screen on the terrace. With a nice evening sun, it’s fantastic!

Foodhallen

Do you want a completely different experience and don’t you like those pubs? Then the Foodhallen in Amsterdam-West are perfect for you! In the middle of the Foodhallen there is a staircase to the top and you arrive in a quiet bar with a nice screen. Feel free to bring your delicious food from the Foodhallen and enjoy the competition (and of course the food)!

Hello, I’m Alison and I love my city. I’ve always believed Amsterdam has so much more to offer than what the guidebooks tell you. But as a visitor, it’s all too easy to get caught up in the highlights and miss out on having an authentic Amsterdam experience. That’s why I’m passionate about showing you my city from a truly local perspective.
