FIFA fever has begun, and it’s taking over The Rockpool ⚽️

The New Zealand All Whites kick off their World Cup campaign against Iran next Tuesday, live on the big screen at The Rockpool.

This is New Zealand’s third ever World Cup appearance and their first since 2010, so it’s one you won’t want to miss.

We’ll be showing every FIFA World Cup game live during our opening hours, and when fixtures clash, Micky Finn’s upstairs will be playing the overlapping matches, so you can move between venues and catch every moment.

Big week on the screens at Rockpool.

The NBA Finals roll on, with New York and San Antonio going head to head in a best of 7 series to decide the world champion. The Knicks are back on the Finals stage for the first time since ’99, where they last met the Spurs.

Thursday night brings a big NRL clash as the Rabbitohs take on the Broncos, then Friday is stacked with Mexico v South Africa in the World Cup group stage before the Chiefs meet the Crusaders in a huge Super Rugby Semi Final.

Across the weekend, the Super Rugby Semi Finals continue, with New Zealand teams dominating the season and the Hurricanes coming in off the top of the ladder.

Then Sunday afternoon, the Socceroos begin their World Cup campaign in Vancouver against Türkiye, looking for their first World Cup opener win since 2006.
