Baller FC is a fan-powered collective born from one big frustration: nowhere good to watch women’s football. Tired of muted screens and unwelcoming venues, we took matters into our own hands. For the 2022 UEFA Women's Euros, we hired an East London pub and screened every match – Lionesses games had queues around the block, and fans of all nations showed up in force. In 2023, we partnered with Signature Brew to do it again for the Women’s World Cup – creating inclusive and celebratory watch parties that put women's football centre stage.
And we're back for the UEFA Women's Euros 2025. This summer, Baller FC returns with watch parties in London and Manchester for every Lionesses match and selected games across the tournament.
““England are coming into this tournament as reigning European Champions and World Cup finalists and we’re here to support them alongside Wales, who are appearing at their first major finals tournament. But these aren’t exclusive home nations parties – they’re a celebration for fans from all over Europe in London and Manchester”. ”
Baller FC kicks off the 2025 Women's Euros with our biggest party yet: “Slaying the Field”, on Saturday 5th July at Signature Brew, Blackhorse Road. We're celebrating Pride and the first England and Wales tournament games with a 12-hour festival of football.
Fuel up, tune in and turn it up – we've got your whole Euros Pride celebration sorted.
Expect a stacked line-up for the biggest alternative pride/queer Euro watch party featuring our amazing friends – Uhaul Dyke Rescue, Match of the Gay, Purple Pool – and an indoor cinema screening queer football shorts Solers United and the powerful documentary, We’ll Go Down in History (Truk United FC).
The Deaf Chefs and 7 Bone Burger will be dishing out delicious artisan flatbreads, wraps and burgers from their street food trucks. The Deaf Chefs was founded by sisters Coco and Mandy from East London. When she’s not cooking up a storm, Coco is blasting balls on the pitch for the England Deaf Futsal squad!
Everyone will be well watered by the Signature Brew bars, plus Uhaul Dyke Rescue will be pulling up with their Mobile Dyke Bar where they’ll be knocking out frozen margaritas with a side serving of arm wrestling.
Catch all the action on our indoor and outdoor screens: Wales vs Netherlands at 5pm, followed by England vs France at 8pm.
And when the sun goes down, we turn it up – Uhaul Dyke Rescue takes over the Brewhall for a DJ blowout featuring legends Harietta and Daisy Gadd on the decks, with support from Baller FC’s own Soccermom DJ duo Ro da Boat and Laura Brat.
The Euros with Baller FC
Baller FC will be screening every England and Wales game, plus a curated selection of group stage clashes and all the knockout stages – live and loud across two London venues.

Baller FC x Signature Brew
Baller FC and Signature Brew are a perfect match-up, sharing a huge passion for football fandom, fresh beer, great music and unforgettable experiences.
““Signature Brew are hugely excited to be partnering with Baller FC again for this Summer’s Euros. The World Cup in 2023 saw unprecedented demand for their incredible events so this year we’re going even bigger across our two venues, Signature Brew Blackhorse Road & Signature Brew Haggerston – with more screens, more tickets and of course the return of Baller Brew, served at all games.” ”
The two teams collaborated to create a specially crafted Women’s World Cup “Baller Brew” in 2023. This low ABV (3%) lager will be available again throughout the tournament campaign at both venues.
Signature Brew venues are wheelchair accessible with accessible toilets. Baller FC “Crew” and “Welfare Officers” will be there throughout to make sure that everyone is welcomed and included, plus all events will be subject to Baller FC’s trademark “Rules of Play”.
Baller FC in Manchester
Baller FC are once again teaming up with our Northern partners in crime Rain on Me FC (ROM FC) to host “Topbins & Party,” a series of watch-a-long parties for this Summer’s European Campaign at The Carlton Club in Whalley Range.
We’ll be screening every England and Wales game - kicking off on Saturday 5th July. Expect live music from our brass duo Shezelle, street food, more bars, football flavoured fun and an after party at each event with the ROM FC and Baller FC Soccermom DJs.
The Carlton Club will have four screens and two bars across the indoor and outdoor venue. Tickets are free and will be released on Baller FC’s website next week.
““Last summer was a big one at The Carlton Club – we were packed to the rafters as the Euros fever hit. We’d been wondering how we could top that energy this year, and then the stars aligned. Teaming up with Baller FC has been amazing.
With ROM FC’s help, we’ve connected with players from across Greater Manchester’s mixed, women’s, trans, and non-binary leagues, building inclusive and exciting events.
With Baller FC’s party know-how, ROM FC’s solid community support and our epic venue – this summer’s shaping up to be one to remember at The Carlton Club!””

Additional Notes on Baller Friends Collective
Baller Friends Collective was started by a group of friends who were tired of scouring the streets of London trying to find a pub showing women’s football matches. “If we were able to find a place, they’d only show it with the volume off, on a small screen with limited seating options and no atmosphere – it didn’t feel very welcoming,” says Baller FC founder Rachel Gould.
The same group of mates traveled to Lyon in 2019 for the Women’s World Cup final and found fans on street corners celebrating the beautiful game together, regardless of the team they supported. But back in England it was tough to find a pub anywhere with the games on and the sound up. “We set up Baller FC to make a safe, inclusive and welcoming place for people to enjoy watching women’s football. We’re all footy fanatics – we’ve followed both the men’s and women’s competitions our whole lives – but the women’s game is special because of the inclusive culture it brings with it. We want to do whatever we can to build on and grow audiences for it”.
When planning for this year’s Women’s Euros, the Baller FC team wanted to make it even bigger and better. “We’re buzzing that Signature Brew in London and the Carlton Club in Manchester wants to host this World Cup extravaganza with us and we can’t wait for everything to kick off in July.”
