⚽ WORLD CUP WEEKEND STARTS HERE ⚽

Next week, the World Cup is officially coming to Massachusetts, and we’ve got a front-row seat.

We’ll be showing every match, plus giveaways, sponsor activations, live music, DJs, and plenty of reasons to spend a few extra hours at the bar.

Kicking things off Friday, June 12: Scottish singer Ross Gregor Adams live from 6-9 PM as fans roll into town ahead of Scotland vs. Haiti in Foxborough.

Whether you’re here for the football, the atmosphere, or just the pints, The Playwright is your World Cup home base.
