Best Places to Watch NFL in Pattaya: Top Sports Bars
Pattaya has a lively expat scene with several sports bars that reliably show NFL games live, especially during playoffs and the Super Bowl. Due to the 11–12 hour time difference (Pattaya is ahead of US ET), Sunday games often start around 1 AM ET = 1 PM BKK time, but prime-time like Sunday Night Football airs at 8:20 AM local. Bars open early (7–8 AM) for big games. Channels include ESPN, NFL Network via TrueVisions or satellite. Always check bar Facebook pages for specific games, as schedules vary. Here’s a curated list of top bars based on current reviews.
The NFL Super Bowl is on Sunday 14th February 2027. Kick off Bangkok time 6.30am Monday 15th February 2027.
