NFL Games Live in BKK

[taiwandude]

Some of the upcoming NFL playoff games come on at an ungodly hour, i.e. 04:30. Are there any pubs staying open that

will show them in BKK? I'm a night owl so please don't suggest I watch the replays later in the day. Thanks

Same thing happened to me last trip. I just happened to walk past a restaurant that was showing the games. They didn’t really promote it though. 
 

So yes, there will certainly be options and hopefully they will be easier to find than two years ago.

I've also seen them while walking about BKK, but, just like @Shifty, I've noticed they don't really promote it. 

But, what I do (as an American who prefers the American coverage over the international coverage), is I just get all the streaming services. Sling for Fox/ESPN, Peacock for NBC, Paramount for CBS, and then Amazon Prime. Then, I just VPN into the US from Thailand (or wherever I am in the world). Never had any issues.

Magarita Storm on the corner of Sukumvit and Soi 13 is open 24 hours and does show sports including NFL. Down Soi 13 is The Sportsman which opens at 7 AM and closes at 2 AM or 3 AM depending on the day.

They just opened place called the Upper Deck on Sukhumvit across from Radisson Blu Plaza.  Easily the nicest sports bar anywhere in or near the Sukhumvit strip.  Puts other places to absolute shame.

That place looks great. Thanks for sharing.
 

Hours on Google don’t show if they are open early morning or over night. I just emailed them with game times to ask if they will be open. I will post back here if I get an answer.

Thanks Fellas. I have a subscription to DAZN for NFL but it doesn't always work outside of Taiwan, certainly not in the USA. I did get games using it last year when I was in The PI.

When I use my VPN, the DAZN website tells me that it knows I'm using it and forces me to disengage it. 

I'll stop by Margarita & Upper Deck today to ask around.

They just opened recently so may have truncated hours around now.  With the playoffs starting today, I would hope they would open for that.  First game is 4:30 pm EST today.

Here’s Aussie Jonny’s video on them,  https://youtu.be/5sGjZCa9yd4?si=zvYdtLznFewsuAx2

Visited the Upper Deck for lunch yesterday. Chicken wrap w/ fries was good. Huge big screen for games and heaps of beers on tap. Place is very big with an outdoor patio, Guys I talked to (mgrs/owners ?) said they're not 24 hours yet but plan to be by World Cup soccer time. They're not open early now for NFL games so they couldn't help me.

Stopped at Margarita Storm and woman told me they could show the 4:30am game for me.

Ended up ponying up Baht 900 for the DAZN Int'l package so will be watching games in my room.

thats just poor planning on their part imho especially considering theyre Americans.  Likely they overestimated the efficiency of Thai contractors.   Hoping they have MLB preseason games when I’m there in March.

I would be very surprised if they have MLB Spring Training games. Most bars in America don't even carry them. 😆

Also, depending on the day, March Madness might be on as well.

Every bar near me carries PreSeason Games.  MLB is quite popular in the US.
