FOOTBALL

[vadersprincess12]

Hi - any suggestions for where to watch football in Disney Springs? TIA.

City Works or Splitsville

Splitsville was the only place I saw that had games on when I was there last month.

We went to Splitsville in September and had a great time. When we got there, we were asked if we were there to watch a game and what team we were interested in. We told them and they put us in an area with other fans for our game and then turned 2-3 screens around us on that station. We had a leisurely lunch and then ordered dessert during the 4th quarter. Would totally do it again!

Hello! We are heading to to Disney this week for a wedding and have a day at EPCOT planned for Sunday. My husband is desperately hoping to catch the Patriots playoff game (starts at 3) while we are there. Any thoughts on places he might be able to view the game?? Anywhere in or around the Epcot resort area??
Thank you!

Martha’s Vineyard at Beach Club was recently updated to add more TVs and has a new more sports-bar like menu. Have not personally been yet but I’d put that among top options if wanting to stick close to Epcot/Epcot resorts.

Since the Pats are in the AFC Championship, that game will be on CBS-WKMG. The game is at 3pm ET, so if you’re in EPCOT by then, your husband will have to stream it on NFL+. All the bars that have TVs are in the resort area and not at EPCOT itself.

Great to know! Thank you

There should be some spots at any of the resorts on Crescent Lake, so Boardwalk, Yacht & Beach Club, even Swan and Dolphin. You could also grab a ride on the Skyliner to the Riviera and go to Bar Riva, which should have TVs. I would say that game is likely to be on at any of those spots. All are just a quick hop out the International Gateway at the back of Epcot.

It's too bad they got rid of the ESPN Zone that used to be at the Boardwalk, or that would have been the go-to.

No wonder the game is on CBS wink wink

Just be aware that Skyliner is scheduled for a maintenance outage starting Sunday. That's likely not going to be a transportation option.

Ah - didn't realize that. Yeah, probably just stick to the Crescent Lake options. There are still several places.

You can always go over to Beach Club Solarium, where there's a big TV, and depending on who's there, and what they're doing, you may be able to switch over to the game. I can remember the year I was sitting in the Solarium, reading, when about 6-8 people came in, asked if I minded if they turned on the TV to a Patriots football game. As a New Englander, I wouldn't dare say I'd mind! So that's a possibility!

If I were the cast member… that TV will stay on Disney Channel lol… no sports channels… there’s a reason NFL+ exists…

Coronado isn't a far bus ride. Rix Sports Bar has a nice space and really good food for the games. We watched the Eagles game there in October and stayed the whole game. You can make a reservation or sit at the bar if available.

 

[OKW Lover]

I'd go to the Dolphin. I recall several TV's in the lobby and there is also a bar.

Go Pats!

No Cast Member there at that time.

The Beach Club has three great places to watch the game. Besides Martha's Vineyard and the Solarium, both just off the BC lobby, there is the Drawing Room at the Beach Club villa building. That room has very comfortable furniture. But it is just a normal size TV, I think.

THIS!!! I was there Jan 10th thru 13th and tried a couple places to watch football in and round Crescent Lake...by far the best atmosphere was Phins bar at the Dolphin. Great drinks, plenty of space, TVs easy to see. Also went to Martha's Vineyard for a game which was ok as well. Main difference was most people at Dolphin were at the bar to watch the game...where most people at Martha's Vineyard were just there (and didn't care about the game that was on).
