Where to watch EPL English Premier League games in Hanoi

Hanoi has a solid expat sports bar scene, especially for English Premier League football. Many Irish/British/Aussie pubs show EPL live with sound, particularly big matches and derbies. Venues cluster in Tay Ho (expat hub), Old Quarter, and Ba Dinh. Always call ahead or check Facebook – not every bar shows every game.

Vietnam is 7 hours ahead of UK time (GMT/BST – no daylight saving in Vietnam).

Premier League matches are scheduled around three main UK kick-off slots, which translate to these times in Hanoi:

UK Kick-Off (Local)	Hanoi / Vietnam Time	Typical Day
12:30 PM UK	7:30 PM Vietnam	Saturday (most common early game)
3:00 PM UK	10:00 PM Vietnam	Saturday/Sunday (main afternoon slot)
4:30 PM UK	11:30 PM Vietnam	Sunday (late game, often “Super Sunday”)
Occasional midweek	Varies (e.g., 7:45 PM UK = 2:45 AM next day Vietnam)	Tuesday–Thursday

Quick Examples (2025-26 Season)

• Standard Saturday: Games at 7:30 PM, 10:00 PM, sometimes later.
• Sunday: Usually one big game at 11:30 PM Vietnam time.
• Midweek rounds: Often 2:45–3:45 AM Vietnam time (tough for live viewing unless you’re a die-hard).
