Where to Watch the World Cup at Meridian on First
Navy Yard is one of DC’s premier sports hubs, and during the World Cup, the energy transitions completely from baseball to global football. From luxury on-site lounges to massive official outdoor fan festivals right down the street, here is where you can catch every single goal.
- The Sky Lounge & Game Room: Skip the public crowds and take the elevator up. The Meridian on First club room features large flat-screen TVs, comfortable lounge seating, and panoramic city views, making it the perfect upscale environment to host a private match-day watch party with neighbors. Even better- enjoy being outside and watching the game on the large outdoor TV at our outdoor rooftop lounge.
- The "United in Play" Soccer Celebration (Tingey Plaza): You have front-row access to DC's official fan zone! Located just blocks away at Tingey Plaza behind the Department of Transportation building, D.C. United and the Navy Yard BID are hosting a massive, free three-day World Cup festival. Grab your friends to watch live matches on giant outdoor screens, enjoy local food vendors, listen to live music, and participate in interactive youth soccer activities.
- Walter's Sports Bar: Located right in the heart of Navy Yard, Walter's offers self-pour beer taps and a massive media wall featuring every live match with full, unmuted stadium audio.
- Tom's Watch Bar: Situated steps from Nationals Park, this high-energy sports sanctuary features 360-degree viewing with stadium-level screens so you never miss a single minute of the action.
