flag UK allows English pubs to stay open until 2am during 2026 World Cup to boost hospitality.

flag The UK government has announced temporary licensing changes allowing pubs in England to stay open until 2am during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, enabling fans to watch matches featuring UK teams, particularly if England advances. flag The move, part of a broader support package, includes a 15% reduction in business rates starting April, with property tax bills frozen in real terms for two years, saving the average pub about £1,650. flag The government also plans to consult on relaxing planning rules to allow pubs to expand or add guest rooms without full applications. flag These measures apply only to the tournament, which runs from June 11 to July 19 across the US, Mexico, and Canada, and aim to ease financial pressures on the hospitality sector amid rising business rates.
