One of those events everyone talks about every four years is coming. No, not leap years or general elections: it’s the Football World Cup!
It doesn’t matter if you’re the kind of person who knows every lineup by heart, only watches the big matches, or supports the opposing team just to annoy everyone else (mental note: kick those people out of the WhatsApp group).
When there’s a World Cup, there’s a plan. And at Hideout Burger, we’ve got it very clear:
Watching the World Cup at home is fine, but watching it surrounded by people, giant screens, shouting, tension, goals, cold beer, and a filthy good burger in front of you… that’s playing in a whole different league.
For the World Cup, Hideout Burger will have screens set up so you can watch the matches the way they should be watched: big, loud, with a great atmosphere, and without having to fight with the couch, the remote, or a VPN just to find the game.
Here, every play gets analyzed, every chance hurts, and every goal is celebrated like you scored it yourself. The deal is simple: you bring the football passion, and we provide the place, the screens, and the menu — the best smash burgers in Barcelona.
Not going to be in Barcelona or watching from home? On OlyBet you can check where to watch the 2026 World Cup in Spain.
You can’t watch a World Cup match with just anything in your stomach. Especially not if there’s extra time, penalties, or a VAR decision ready to ruin your afternoon.
Ninety minutes is a long time, and it’s scientifically proven that the body can burn up to 300 calories while watching a football match (thanks to the nervous system activation caused by excitement). That’s basically the same as a one-hour walk — except football is actually fun.
So, to keep going and support your national team until the final whistle, nothing beats a smash burger packed with enough calories to get you through it. Once every four years won’t hurt (and you don’t even believe that yourself).
World Cups are already exciting enough on their own, and they always leave unforgettable moments behind:
The Hand of God, Zinedine Zidane headbutting Marco Materazzi in 2006, Andrés Iniesta scoring the goal that gave Spain its first World Cup in 2010, Germany’s 7–1 against Brazil in 2014, or the incredible 2022 final between Argentina and France with goals flying in from everywhere.
We already know all the football clichés: “it’s 11 against 11,” “there are no small teams,” and “you have to take it one game at a time.” But this World Cup already has something that makes it special:
It will be the first World Cup featuring 48 national teams out of the 193 officially recognized countries in the world. That means roughly a quarter of all countries on Earth will take part in the tournament — 25%!
Just mentioning the favorites: Spain, France, England, Brazil, Argentina, Portugal and Ital… well, Portugal again. With so many teams together for the first time, excitement is guaranteed from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
Anyway, we’re rambling more than a late-night football podcast, and we’ve got a ridiculous number of burgers to prepare for the Primavera Sound festival.
If you were looking for a physical place to watch the World Cup with friends, family, or your partner, your plan is sorted: Hideout Burger, both at our Eixample and Poblenou restaurants in Barcelona.
In Eixample, we’re open Monday to Thursday from 1:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., Saturdays from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., and Sundays from 12:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. In Poblenou, we’re open every day from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and from 7:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., although after the World Cup group stage we’ll also be open for the 6:00 p.m. matches.
Time to start organizing schedules and dusting off shirts, flags, and any other patriotic symbols to support your team (always respecting the opponent — unless it’s Italy. No, wait, forget that).
Our advice: book your table here, because football doesn’t feed you — that part is our job at Hideout Burger.
