How to watch the World Cup in Vancouver without a stadium ticket
PROLINE House pop-up at Butcher & Bullock offers free entry, 17-foot screens, and thousands in prizes. Book your spot now.
Vancouver is buzzing with World Cup energy, and if you didn't snag a seat at BC Place, the next best thing is the PROLINE House pop-up at Butcher & Bullock on West Pender Street.
Think of it as the stadium experience without the stadium price tag. The pop-up runs across eight match days from June 12 through July 7, with a 17-foot big screen TV dominating the main room. Doors open 30 minutes before kick-off, and entry is free with a reservation—spots are limited, so book early.
What makes it worth your time: thousands of dollars in prizes. For every $5 bet placed on PROLINE—B.C.'s only retail sportsbook requiring no account—you get a ballot for the grand prize giveaway, worth over $1,000. The first 100 people to place a bet receive a PROLINE swag bag. Throughout the event, you can win Team Canada jerseys, balls, scarves, and other gear through various activations.
PROLINE ambassadors are on hand to help you place bets if you've never used the sportsbook before. It's designed to be simple: pick your matches, sit back with a drink, and watch the game unfold. The energy will be electric—you're surrounded by other soccer fans, some cheering for rivals, all invested in the match.
Butcher & Bullock's location on West Pender puts you in the heart of downtown. The restaurant's food and beverage offerings are available, so you can grab a meal or drink without leaving the space. Reservations are required because seating fills fast. Games happening during peak evening hours (9 p.m. Friday and Saturday matches) will draw the biggest crowds—weekday daytime matches offer a more relaxed vibe if that's your preference.
Scheduled pop-up dates are: - Friday, June 12, at noon - Saturday, June 13, at 9 p.m. - Thursday, June 18, at 3 p.m. - Sunday, June 21, at 6 p.m. - Wednesday, June 24, at noon - Friday, June 26, at 8 p.m. - Thursday, July 2, at 8 p.m. - Tuesday, July 7, at 1 p.m.
If you're a casual soccer fan or a serious one, the pop-up is a high-energy alternative to watching alone at home or crowding into a bar without a dedicated screen. Book your reservation now.
