German House of Soccer (DFB) at Chelsea Industrial

The German Football Association's 2,000-square-meter fan clubhouse at Chelsea Industrial — match viewing, a soccer gallery and bratwurst-fueled nights.

FreeWorld CupFinal Days

National federations rarely open their doors to the public, but Germany's World Cup house in Chelsea is a full fan clubhouse — big-screen match viewing with German beer and bratwurst, a gallery of football history, and appearances by legends of the German game. It's the most immersive single-nation fan experience in the city this tournament, and it welcomes neutrals as warmly as die-hards. Catch it before the house closes in the tournament's final week.

What to expect

A warehouse-scale fan house: a matchday area with German food and drink, an exhibition on German football heritage, and a rotating slate of watch parties, talks and special guests. Match broadcasts bring the singing crowds; off-hours are relaxed enough to browse the gallery.

Good to know

  • On West 28th Street near Hudson Yards — 7 to 34 St-Hudson Yards or C/E to 23 St
  • General entry is free; some special events and talks require registration
  • German match days are the peak atmosphere — and the biggest crowds
  • Full food and drink service inside, Deutschland-style
  • The Soccer Gallery works even for non-fans — it's a real exhibition
  • Closing during the tournament's final week — this is the last stretch
