Baller FC is a fan-powered collective born from one big frustration: nowhere good to watch women’s football. Tired of muted screens and unwelcoming venues, we took matters into our own hands. For the 2022 UEFA Women’s Euros, we hired an East London pub and screened every match – Lionesses games had queues around the block, and fans of all nations showed up in force. In 2023, we partnered with Signature Brew to do it again for the Women’s World Cup – creating inclusive and celebratory watch parties that put women’s football centre stage.
And we’re back for the UEFA Women’s Euros 2025. This summer, Baller FC returns with watch parties in London and Manchester for every Lionesses match and selected games across the tournament.
“England are coming into this tournament as reigning European Champions and World Cup finalists and we’re here to support them alongside Wales, who are appearing at their first major finals tournament. But these aren’t exclusive home nations parties – they’re a celebration for fans from all over Europe in London and Manchester”.
Rachel Gould, Baller FC Founder.
Baller FC kicks off the 2025 Women’s Euros with our biggest party yet: “Slaying the Field”, on Saturday 5th July at Signature Brew, Blackhorse Road. We’re celebrating Pride and the first England and Wales tournament games with a 12-hour festival of football.
Fuel up, tune in and turn it up – we’ve got your whole Euros Pride celebration sorted.
Expect a stacked line-up for the biggest alternative pride/queer Euro watch party featuring our amazing friends – Uhaul Dyke Rescue, Match of the Gay, Purple Pool – and an indoor cinema screening queer football shorts Solers United and the powerful documentary, We’ll Go Down in History (Truk United FC).
The Deaf Chefs and 7 Bone Burger will be dishing out delicious artisan flatbreads, wraps and burgers from their street food trucks. The Deaf Chefs was founded by sisters Coco and Mandy from East London. When she’s not cooking up a storm, Coco is blasting balls on the pitch for the England Deaf Futsal squad!
Everyone will be well watered by the Signature Brew bars, plus Uhaul Dyke Rescue will be pulling up with their Mobile Dyke Bar where they’ll be knocking out frozen margaritas with a side serving of arm wrestling.
Catch all the action on our indoor and outdoor screens: Wales vs Netherlands at 5pm, followed by England vs France at 8pm.
And when the sun goes down, we turn it up – Uhaul Dyke Rescue takes over the Brewhall for a DJ blowout featuring legends Harietta and Daisy Gadd on the decks, with support from Baller FC’s own Soccermom DJ duo Ro da Boat and Laura Brat.
Baller FC will be screening every England and Wales game, plus a curated selection of group stage clashes and all the knockout stages – live and loud across two London venues.
But we’re not just watching football – we’re throwing a month-long party. Expect a stacked calendar of weekly antics including:
- Chip It in the Bin street skills challenge
- Foosball tournaments, karaoke, art takeovers
- Our legendary Guess the WC Player Ponytail Quiz
- Barber cuts, temp tatts, and WoSo-inspired makeovers
Activities will run all day in and around the venues, with Baller FC’s Soccermom DJs and special guests keeping the energy high after every final whistle.
Events take place at Signature Brew Haggerston and Blackhorse Road – check @ballerfc and our website for full listings.
Kids welcome until matches end (timings vary).
Baller FC and Signature Brew are a perfect match-up, sharing a huge passion for football fandom, fresh beer, great music and unforgettable experiences.
“Signature Brew are hugely excited to be partnering with Baller FC again for this Summer’s Euros. The World Cup in 2023 saw unprecedented demand for their incredible events so this year we’re going even bigger across our two venues, Signature Brew Blackhorse Road & Signature Brew Haggerston – with more screens, more tickets and of course the return of Baller Brew, served at all games.”
Tom Dudley, Head of Hospitality & Events, Signature Brew.
The two teams collaborated to create a specially crafted Women’s World Cup “Baller Brew” in 2023. This low ABV (3%) lager will be available again throughout the tournament campaign at both venues.
Signature Brew venues are wheelchair accessible with accessible toilets. Baller FC “Crew” and “Welfare Officers” will be there throughout to make sure that everyone is welcomed and included, plus all events will be subject to Baller FC’s trademark “Rules of Play”.
