San Jose Guide
San Jose is a hockey city with deep soccer roots. The Sharks fill the arena all winter, and the Earthquakes were there when MLS began. The South Bay follows Liga MX as closely as any league.
Downtown and SoFA sit beside the arena and fill first on a game night. Santana Row adds newer rooms with big screens. Willow Glen and Japantown keep the neighborhood bars.
San Jose uses Pacific Time. European matches start early in the morning, so several bars open at breakfast for them. Use the filters to find sound on, big screens or outdoor seating.
