Where to Watch Arsenal in Los Angeles
Short version: The Fox & Hounds in Studio City is LA’s original Arsenal pub and the only reliable option for the pre-dawn kickoffs — it opens at 4am, and that is not a typo. For the later weekend games on the West Side, Joxer Dalys in Culver City is the West Side Gooners’ home.
When the match kicks off (Pacific time)
LA is eight hours behind London, which makes UK afternoons very early West Coast mornings. This is the most brutal timezone in the US for it.
- 12:30pm UK early kickoff to 4:30am PT. Pre-dawn. This is what the Fox & Hounds' 4am opening exists for.
- 3pm UK Saturday to 7am PT. The standard slot — still breakfast.
- 5:30pm UK Saturday to 9:30am PT. The humane one.
- 2pm UK Sunday to 6am PT; 4:30pm UK Sunday to 8:30am PT.
- 8pm UK midweek (Champions League) to 12pm PT. A lunchtime European night.
The pubs
The Fox & Hounds
11100 Ventura Blvd, Studio City. LA’s original Arsenal pub, since 1998. Opens at 4am for early kickoffs, with a full English breakfast for the brave souls who show up before dawn. Inside it is like a British pub airlifted into Studio City: two huge projector screens plus fifteen HDTVs, and fish & chips rated the best in LA. For pre-dawn West Coast kickoffs, this is the only reliable option. Two decades of early mornings and counting.
Joxer Dalys
11168 Washington Blvd, Culver City. The West Side Gooners' home. A classic Irish dive — the decor is whatever has been nailed to the wall over 20 years — with multiple screens and a passionate football crowd. Opens 10am at weekends for the EPL. Good wings, good craic. The pick for the later kickoffs if you are on the West Side.
The honest take
If the kickoff is before about 9am Pacific, the Fox & Hounds and its 4am doors are basically your only play, and the full English makes it worth the alarm. For the mid-morning weekend slots on the West Side, Joxer Dalys is the easier, looser option.
