Where to watch the World Cup Final in Denver on Sunday, July 19

The World Cup final is Sunday, and it’s a blockbuster: Argentina vs. Spain, noon kickoff (Mountain Time).

Now it’s time for the main event.

A few tips for the final: McGregor Square sold out for USA group-stage games, so don’t wait on those $23 tickets if you want the big-screen experience. Number 38 is first come, first served and has been reaching capacity well before kickoff all tournament. If you want a more low-key vibe, the British Bulldog and Maria Empanada will feel more like watching with friends than watching in a stadium. And if you’re taking the light rail, RTD has been promoting transit routes to at least 25 watch parties, breweries and sports bars across the metro area.
