Whether you want to hit the bar to catch one of our black and gold teams, or any other sporting event, we have some great spots around the city for you. Check out our top 13 picks for where to watch the game:

Footie fans, rejoice. Piper's Pub reopened early in 2023 to the delight of soccer fans in the Burgh. Piper's opens early on weekends so fans can watch the best Premiere League and La Liga action with a fantastic pub menu, fan-friendly vibes and an expansive list of drafts, whiskey, scotch and more. Rugby fans: check out Rugger's Pub in this same neighborhood for your sports fix along with Pirates and Steelers game specials.

Unassuming, Cupka's Caf II offers a nostalgic sports bar atmosphere. College football fans in particular love the traditional bar with the weekly Pat Narduzzi show being hosted there and a variety of college teams decorating the walls. Not only is Cupka's Caf II a welcoming environment for you, but your dog is welcome to join you on the outdoor seating patios.

You love their Homestead location, and now Voodoo's newest location (right next to Shorty's) makes it the perfect place to grab a beer before or after the game. All of Voodoo's favorites are on tap and available in cans, plus their gigantic menu is a mix of pub favorites and upscale Asian fusion noodle bowls and South American entrees to please any palate.

All sports, all the time is the promise of Tom's Watch Bar, just opened in Aug. 2023 between PNC Park and Acrisure Stadium. Hundreds of screens provide a great view of the action no matter where you sit, with personalized audio at each table and sports shown from the biggest events to the most obscure sports.

With locations throughout Pittsburgh, you're never far from this famous restaurant where the fries go on the sandwiches. A Pittsburgh classic, it's not a trip to the 'Burgh without a trip to a Primantis. Choose from locations in Downtown, South Side, Oakland, The Strip District and more! Yinz may even start talking Pittsburghese after this formative 'Burgh experience.

90 craft beers showcasing 30+ local breweries, gigantic televisions covering every surface and state-of-the-art audio so you never miss a call. Has one of the best brunch menus in the city if you're watching an earlier game and fantastic sharable flatbreads and appetizes making this a perfect spot to host your fantasy draft party. Yeah, this place kinda has it all.

With 18 HD TVs and 10 huge screens, there's no such thing as a bad view at Bigham Tavern on Mount Washington. Bigham Tavern boasts all the amenities of a big city sports bar with the charm of a small town where friendly competition is welcome. While you're there, you'll enjoy an extensive beer list and food crafted from fresh ingredients that elevates their cuisine way above typical bar fare.

In a hurry? Pirates fans outside the local area can watch almost all the games with MLB.TV. Local fans need to gain access to SportsNet Pittsburgh. It is available to stream from two sources:

The majority of Major League Baseball (MLB) games that are broadcast to a national audience are shown on Fox, Fox Sports 1 (FS1), ESPN, TBS, and MLB Network. Some games will also appear on ABC and NBC.

Fubo ($91.98/mo) is another, more affordable, option for receiving access to SportsNet Pittsburgh. It also includes ESPN, FS1, MLB Network, and all the network affiliates. And it includes a ton of other sports channels. It does not, however, offer TBS at this point.

Fox (with possible games on ABC and NBC) is the only channel that broadcasts games over the air. This means that it is the only channel that is available to those using an antenna. But it does mean that you will be able to watch at least one Pirates game for free this season.

In 1882, the Pittsburgh Allegheny began play in the American Association (AA), which was the primary alternative to the National League (NL). However, the Pirates moved to the NL in 1887 and have remained there ever since.

Between 1903 and 1973, the Pirates won a total of five World Series championships. They have also won nine NL titles and the NL East division title nine times. Pittsburgh moved from the NL East to the NL Central in 1993.

Barry Bonds and Bobby Bonilla are two of the most famous players to have spent a portion of their careers in Pittsburgh. Bonds is perhaps best known for setting the record for most home runs in a season when he hit 73 in 2001. He also holds the record for most home runs in a career with 762.

To watch the 2024 version of this team, you have two main options. If you live in and around Pennsylvania, you should sign up with DIRECTV STREAM or Fubo since they will provide you with SportsNet Pittsburgh.

The majority of Pirates games will be shown on Sportsnet Pittsburgh. However, if a game is on national television, it will likely be shown on ESPN, Fox, FS1, TBS, or MLB Network. There is also a possibility that a given game will appear on Peacock (Sundays) or Apple+ TV (Fridays).

Pirates games that are broadcast on Fox may be available for free if you have an antenna. Games that are shown on Apple+ TV may also be shown for free during the 2022 season. However, games that are broadcast on national networks are only available on streaming services that charge a monthly fee.

Most streaming services have dedicated apps that allow you to watch games on your phone. Alternatively, you can use a web browser to access a streaming account and watch games on your Android or iOS device with them. Additionally, AT&T SportsNet has its app if you have access to the service.

This offseason, the Pirates added Andrew McCutchen, Aroldis Chapman, and Rowdy Tellez were signed as free agents on one-year contracts. Canaan Smith-Njigba was acquired off waivers from Seattle. Also, Wily Peralta was signed to a minor league contract.

This adds to a roster that includes David Bednar, Mitch Keller, Luis Ortiz, and Martin Perez in the bullpen, outfielders Jack Suwinski, Bryan Reynolds, and Henry Davis, and infielder Oneil Cruz, among others. However, Endy Rodriguez was placed on the injury list.
