Where to Watch the World Cup in Norfolk
Women’s football has grown in popularity, but unfortunately, with the time zone difference there aren’t that many places where you can watch England play around Norfolk for the 2023 World Cup. Since there aren’t many options, it’s best to book in advance if possible. I have grouped them by area so you can find the one most convenient to you.
If you want to see other matches, you need to check with the venue to see if they will show it.
UPDATE: Now that the Lionesses have made the Final, I think there will be a lot of places showing the match, but I still encourage you to book if possible because a lot of people will want to go out and watch it with other fans. Also, Norwich City Football Club will have a match starting at noon.
