Thursday 11th to Sunday 19th July

The world’s largest football tournament returns - and there’s no better place to catch every moment than The Royal Foresters.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 kicks off on 11th June and runs through to 19th July, and we’re all set to bring the excitement to Ascot with great food, perfectly poured pints and that unbeatable match day buzz.

At The Royal Foresters, you’re never far from the perfect view of the big game; with three different ways to watch the action:

The Bar - Enjoy the matches across multiple screens with a great pint in hand in our bar. Tables allotted on a first come first served basis.
Bookable Indoor Tables - Prefer a guaranteed seat? Reserve your table inside and enjoy the action in comfort on our giant screen.
