Where can you watch the UEFA Euro 2024 in Amsterdam?
It’s good to know that there are currently three dates for the Dutch national team’s matches: Sunday, 16 June 2024, at 3:00 PM against Poland; Friday, 21 June, at 9:00 PM against France; and Tuesday, 25 June, at 6:00 PM against Austria. Mark these in your calendar. Now, the question remains: where is the best place to watch the UEFA Euro 2024 in Amsterdam? We have the answer to that, too. The following pubs, cafés, and restaurants will be your go-to spots in the coming weeks.
Westergasterras
Few terraces are as large and surrounded by greenery as the always cosy Westergasterras. The enormous screen ensures that even the back tables on the large terrace won’t miss the game. Reservations can be made for 4, 6, or 8 people.
Klönneplein 6, Amsterdam, westergasterras.nl
O’Donnell’s
Looking for a classic Irish pub to watch the UEFA Euro 2024? Then O’Donnell’s on the Marie Heinekenplein is the place to be.

Café Thijssen
A no-brainer, as a brown café like Café Thijssen in the Jordaan is bound to show all the UEFA Euro 2024 matches. This is the place to be to watch a football game in the city’s heart.
Brouwersgracht 107, Amsterdam, cafethijssen.nl
Panache
Café Panache is, as always, perfect for enjoying the UEFA Euro 2024. If you’re lucky, they’ll serve bar snacks and oysters.

Did you miss out on a spot at the Westergasterras? Then, Bar Kantoor is an excellent alternative. This cosy spot also offers a wide selection of craft beers and snacks.
Haarlemmerweg 8, Amsterdam, barkantoor.nl
The Butcher Social Club
Want to watch football in style? As much as that’s possible, they manage it at The Butcher Social Club in Amsterdam North. The best part is enjoying a cocktail while watching the Netherlands national team.

Vondeltuin
The Vondeltuin is a great spot with a large terrace and an almost equally large screen during the UEFA Euro 2024. This relaxed spot will be transformed into an orange haven during the tournament. Arrive early to secure a spot.

Café ‘t Papeneiland
It doesn’t get much more Amsterdam than Café ‘t Papeneiland. By day, the elderly Jordaan locals enjoy coffee with apple pie here (and, admittedly, the occasional small beer), but it’s much livelier during the UEFA Euro 2024. Snag a spot upstairs for the best view and an authentic Amsterdam experience.

Café Kiebêrt
Café Kiebêrt is known for its lively atmosphere, and during the UEFA Euro 2024, they’re taking it up a notch. Extra portions of bitterballen have already been ordered, and the beer kegs are ready to go. All you need to do is secure a good spot.
