Where to Watch the FIFA World Cup Final in Ubud On Sunday, July 19, the 2026 FIFA World Cup comes to an end at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, with kickoff at 3:00 PM Eastern Time — which lands at 3:00 AM WITA on Monday, July 20 here in Bali. It is the single biggest football match on the planet, closing out a tournament that expanded to 48 teams for the first time in history, and it deserves more than a laptop screen and a bad Wi-Fi connection in your villa. If you’re searching for where to watch the FIFA World Cup Final in Ubud, the answer is The Melting Pot Saloon. We’re Ubud’s officially licensed World Cup screening venue, and we’re staying open through the early hours of July 20 specifically for this match — sound on, screens up, and a room full of people who understand exactly what’s at stake. This has been one of the wildest, most emotional World Cups in recent memory, and before we get into why The Melting Pot is where you want to be for kickoff, it’s worth walking through exactly how we got here — because this tournament has given us more storylines than most entire decades of football. The Road to the Final: A 2026 World Cup Tournament for the Ages This World Cup opened with a moment nobody will forget. In Argentina’s very first game of the tournament, Lionel Messi scored his first-ever World Cup hat-trick in a 3-0 win over Algeria, tying Miroslav Klose’s all-time World Cup goal-scoring record of 16 in the process. Messi, at 38, became the oldest player to score a hat-trick at a World Cup, and the goals came almost exactly 20 years to the day after his World Cup debut. He was visibly emotional walking off after being substituted to a standing ovation — and for a player who had already won everything the sport has to offer, it was a reminder that the man still has magic left in his boots. It set the tone for a tournament that has not let up since. Cristiano Ronaldo, playing in his sixth World Cup at age 41, has had a much rockier campaign by comparison — a frustrating 1-1 draw against DR Congo in his opener had fans and pundits questioning whether age had finally caught up with him. But Ronaldo has kept grinding through the tournament, and Portugal have found a way to keep advancing regardless, most recently edging past Croatia 2-1 in the Round of 32, with Ronaldo converting a penalty before Gonçalo Ramos snatched a stoppage-time winner. With both Ronaldo and Messi widely expected to be playing in their final World Cups, every match either man plays right now carries the weight of a farewell tour — and remarkably, the two have never faced each other at a World Cup in six combined tournament appearances. If both Argentina and Portugal keep winning, 2026 could finally be the year that changes. Beyond the two biggest names in the sport, this tournament has produced one of the great underdog stories in World Cup history — and it’s a story so good it deserves its own section entirely, below. There’s also been no shortage of chaos in the bracket itself. Morocco needed penalties to get past the Netherlands. Paraguay knocked out Germany, also on penalties, reaching the Round of 16 for the first time since 2010. Spain, the reigning European champions and one of the tournament favorites, have looked shaky at times but ground out a 3-0 win over Austria to stay alive. It’s the kind of tournament where nobody — not even the biggest football nations on the planet — has had it easy, and that unpredictability is exactly why the closing stretch has been must-watch football regardless of which teams you personally support. Vozinha: The Real Story Behind the World Cup's Viral Goalkeeper Sensation If there’s been one human story that has defined this World Cup more than any other, it’s Cape Verde’s goalkeeper, Vozinha. Cape Verde — an island nation of roughly 530,000 people, the third-smallest country ever to qualify for a World Cup — walked into their opening match against Spain as one of the biggest underdogs of the entire tournament. Spain came in as pre-tournament favorites. Cape Verde had never played a single minute of World Cup football in their history. What happened next stunned the football world: Cape Verde held Spain to a scoreless draw, with Vozinha turning in one of the great individual goalkeeping performances the tournament has seen — seven saves, several of them world-class reaction stops against a Spanish attack that threw 27 shots at his goal. He was named Man of the Match and left the pitch in tears, later explaining that the moment meant even more because his grandparents, who had raised him, had passed away before they could see it, and his mother had been unable to get a visa in time to attend. Within hours of the final whistle, Vozinha’s Instagram following exploded — from roughly 50,000 followers to well over a million within the day, and eventually surging past 20 million by the time his World Cup run ended, a figure that reportedly overtook the social media audiences of major NFL and NBA stars. It’s one of the fastest individual fame explosions football has seen in years, and it turned a 40-year-old goalkeeper most casual fans had never heard of into one of the most recognizable faces of the entire tournament. Here’s the real story behind the man, because it’s genuinely remarkable on its own merits: Vozinha — real name Josimar José Évora Dias — didn’t turn professional until age 25, an unusually late start by football standards, after being told as a kid that he was too small to make it as a keeper. From there, he built a two-decade professional career across some of football’s less glamorous leagues — spells in Angola, Moldova, Portugal, Cyprus, and Slovakia — picking up just a single trophy along the way (a Cypriot Cup in 2018-19) before eventually returning to represent Cape Verde, the country he’s played for since 2012. This World Cup, his country’s first ever, is by his own admission the biggest moment of his career and possibly his life. A word of caution on this one: in the days after the Spain match, a viral (and completely false) rumor spread online claiming Vozinha was actually an amateur — an electrician or bus driver by day who moonlighted as a World Cup goalkeeper. It’s a great story. It’s also not true. Vozinha has been a full-time professional footballer for close to 20 years. The real story — a late-blooming journeyman from one of the world’s smallest football nations holding off one of its biggest — needs no exaggeration to be compelling, and multiple outlets have since debunked the amateur myth entirely. Cape Verde’s fairytale run eventually came to an end in the Round of 16, in a genuinely dramatic clash against Argentina and his childhood idol, Lionel Messi. Messi opened the scoring, but Cape Verde fought back twice to force extra time, with Vozinha producing eight saves — his best single-match total of the tournament — before Argentina finally broke through in the 111th minute to win 3-2. Across the tournament, Vozinha finished with 18 total saves, a remarkable return for a goalkeeper making his World Cup debut at 40 years old, and he left the pitch to a standing ovation from neutral fans everywhere, having turned Cape Verde’s first-ever World Cup into one of the most talked-about stories of the entire competition. World Cup Final Predictions: Who's Favored to Lift the Trophy? With the knockout rounds in full swing, bookmakers and analysts have started narrowing in on who’s most likely to be standing at MetLife Stadium on July 19. Here’s how the picture looks heading toward the Final: France have emerged as the tournament favorites, and it’s not hard to see why — Kylian Mbappé has been in ruthless form, topping the Golden Boot race, and Les Bleus have looked like the most complete side left in the draw. If they continue on their current path, a quarterfinal date with Morocco awaits, and France will go in as heavy favorites for that one too. Argentina sit as the clear second favorites, and for good reason — Messi’s Argentina have looked dangerous in every match so far, and after surviving a genuine scare against Cape Verde, they’ve drawn what many analysts consider the easiest remaining path to the Final of any of the top contenders. Egypt stand between them and the quarterfinals, followed by the winner of Switzerland vs. Colombia. Spain round out the top three in most odds boards, still considered the biggest threat to a France-Argentina final, on the back of their status as reigning European champions and a squad stacked with young talent like Lamine Yamal. Behind that trio, England, Brazil, and Portugal make up the next tier of contenders — all sides capable of a deep run, but each considered longer shots to actually go all the way. For Portugal specifically, Ronaldo’s fairytale farewell would need his side to navigate a genuinely brutal bracket, including the very real possibility of facing Spain before the semifinals even arrive. Our dream final? Argentina vs. Portugal — Messi vs. Ronaldo, head-to-head at a World Cup for the first time ever, with both men widely expected to be playing their final tournament. It’s a longshot given the draw, but if this World Cup has taught us anything, it’s that this edition still has plenty of drama left to give. Whoever makes it through, one thing is certain: the Final on July 19 will be the culmination of 104 matches and 39 days of football, and it’ll be shown live, loud, and on the big screen at The Melting Pot Saloon.

Some years in sport are good. Some are great. And then there's 2026 — a year that has already delivered moments that will be talked about for decades, with more still to come. From the first FIFA World Cup on American soil to a 53-year drought ending in New York City, from a UFC fight card on the White House lawn to a Super Bowl defensive masterclass, 2026 has been genuinely unlike anything sport has seen packed into a single calendar year. If you're in Ubud and trying to keep up with all of it, The Melting Pot Saloon is where it's happening. Every major event, multiple screens, sound on, open until 2AM — here's a breakdown of everything that has made 2026 one of the greatest year in sports history, and where you can catch every last moment of what's still to come. The FIFA World Cup 2026 — Football's Biggest Stage, and the Upsets Keep Coming The FIFA World Cup 2026 is the largest in the tournament's history — 48 nations, 72 group stage matches, 12 groups, and 16 host cities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It is the first World Cup hosted across three countries simultaneously, and the expanded format has delivered exactly the chaos everyone hoped for. We're now into the Round of 32, and the script has been torn up more than once already. Germany — four-time champions — were knocked out on penalties by Paraguay, with Kai Havertz among those missing from the spot. The Netherlands fell to Morocco on penalties in a thriller, while Japan pushed five-time champions Brazil all the way to stoppage time before a late Gabriel Martinelli winner ended their run. Iran were eliminated in the group stage on goal difference after Algeria's late surge, and a record nine African nations made it through to the knockout rounds — the most ever from the continent at a single World Cup. With Argentina and Portugal drawn on opposite sides of the bracket, a Messi-Ronaldo final remains alive, but only if both sides go all the way. This is the tournament that stops the world, and right now it's doing exactly that. The Melting Pot Saloon is screening World Cup matches throughout the knockout rounds across our 80" TV and full projector, the way football is meant to be watched. Check our Instagram and Facebook daily for which fixtures are on the big screen each day. Super Bowl LX — The Seahawks Are Back February 8, 2026. Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara. The Seattle Seahawks dismantled the New England Patriots 29–13 in one of the most defensively dominant Super Bowl performances in recent memory — holding the Patriots scoreless for the first three quarters and sealing the Lombardi Trophy with a pair of fourth-quarter turnovers. It was Seattle's second Super Bowl title, and redemption for a fanbase still carrying the bitter taste of Super Bowl XLIX more than a decade ago. Kenneth Walker III was named Super Bowl MVP after a grinding 135-yard rushing performance, and quarterback Sam Darnold — once written off as one of the NFL's biggest draft busts — completed one of the greatest redemption arcs the sport has ever seen. The game drew over 124 million viewers worldwide, the second most-watched program in US television history. At The Melting Pot Saloon, we had the screens on and the beers flowing for every snap — and Super Bowl LXI is already on the calendar for next February. UFC Freedom 250 — A Fight Card at the White House On June 14, 2026, the UFC did something nobody had ever done before — it staged a full fight card on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington D.C., in front of thousands of invited guests and tens of thousands more watching on massive outdoor screens at The Ellipse. UFC Freedom 250, officially named to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence, was the most expensive fight event ever produced — with costs reportedly exceeding $60 million — and it delivered. The main event saw lightweight champion Ilia Topuria defend his title against Justin Gaethje, with Gaethje pulling off the win in a brutal, bloody contest that lived up to every expectation. It was a night that cemented MMA's place not just as a sport, but as a genuine cultural institution — and one that we had on the big screen at the Saloon from the first prelim to the final bell. That wasn't even the end of it. Conor McGregor — out of the octagon for five years since his leg break at UFC 264 in 2021 — finally returns on July 11, 2026, headlining UFC 329 against Max Holloway at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It's a rematch over a decade in the making; the two first fought back in 2013, with McGregor winning by unanimous decision when both men were just rising featherweights. This time it's a welterweight clash, and after five years of waiting, it's set to be one of the most watched fight cards of the year. We'll have it live on the big screen at the Saloon. The New York Knicks — 53 Years of Waiting, Over June 13, 2026. Jalen Brunson scored 45 points — a Knicks Finals record — as New York defeated the San Antonio Spurs 94–90 to win the NBA championship in five games and end the longest title drought in the franchise's history. The last time the Knicks won the NBA championship was 1973. Fifty-three years. Three generations of fans who had never seen their team lift the Larry O'Brien Trophy. What made it more remarkable was how they won. The Knicks trailed by double digits in all four of their victories, mounting comeback after comeback in a Finals series that averaged a four-point margin across five games — widely called one of the greatest Finals series of the last decade. Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs pushed them to the limit every single night, but Brunson kept finding ways to win, and the city of New York erupted in a way it hadn't since 1973. The series drew 20.6 million viewers per game — the most-watched NBA Finals since 1998.

If you have been searching for shuffleboard in Bali, the search ends here — and it ends in Ubud. The Melting Pot Saloon on Jalan Raya Pengosekan is the only venue in Indonesia with a shuffleboard table. Not just the only one in Ubud. The only one in the entire country. That is not a marketing claim — it is simply the reality of a game that has never really made it to this part of the world. Until now. Whether you have played shuffleboard a hundred times back home or have never heard of it before walking through our doors, this guide covers everything you need to know — the history of the game, how to play it, what to expect when you visit, and why Ubud of all places is where you are going to finally tick this one off your list. What Is Shuffleboard? Shuffleboard — also known as table shuffleboard or American shuffleboard — is a game in which two players or two teams push weighted metal pucks down a long, smooth wooden table, aiming to land them as close to the far end as possible without sliding off. The scoring zones are divided into sections worth one, two, or three points, and knocking your opponent's puck off the table is not only allowed — it is part of the strategy. The table itself is usually between nine and twenty-two feet long, kept flat, and regularly dusted with a fine silicone powder (often called shuffleboard wax) that helps the pucks glide smoothly. The longer and faster the table, the more precise your technique needs to be. It sounds simple, and the basics genuinely are. But give it twenty minutes and you will start to understand why this game has stayed popular for over five hundred years. A Brief History of Shuffleboard Shuffleboard traces its origins back to 15th-century England, where it began as a pub game called "shove a penny" — players would slide coins across a flat tabletop to score points. It was cheap, social, and required nothing more than a smooth surface and a bit of competitive spirit. The game eventually crossed the Atlantic with English settlers and took hold in American bars and taverns throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. By the 1890s, shuffleboard was so widely played in New York City that metropolitan newspapers were giving it as much coverage as baseball and boxing. It became a fixture of social clubs, speakeasies, and fraternal lodges through the early 20th century — the kind of game you could play for hours with a drink in hand without ever needing to raise your voice or take it too seriously. It fell out of fashion for a few decades, got overtaken by pool and darts in the bar game pecking order, then quietly staged a revival from the 1980s onwards. Today it is a staple of bars and rec rooms across North America, Europe, and Australia — but almost completely unknown in Southeast Asia. That is exactly what makes it a genuine novelty for most visitors to The Melting Pot Saloon. How to Play Shuffleboard: The Basics You do not need any experience to pick up shuffleboard. Most people are competitive within five minutes of their first go. Here is a quick rundown of how the standard game works. Setup Each player or team gets four pucks in two different colours to tell them apart. Players stand at the same end of the table and alternate turns sliding pucks toward the far end. Scoring The far end of the table is divided into three scoring zones: one point, two points, and three points — with the highest-value zone at the very edge. A "hanger" — a puck that overhangs the edge without falling off — scores a bonus point on top of its zone value. Only the player or team whose puck is furthest down the table scores in each round. You score points for every one of your pucks that sits ahead of your opponent's furthest puck. The standard game runs to 15 or 21 points. Strategy The game quickly becomes less about sliding your puck far and more about using it to knock your opponent's puck out of scoring position while protecting your own. Once you start thinking that way, shuffleboard turns from a casual warm-up into a proper competition. Fouls Any puck that does not fully clear the foul line in the middle of the table is removed from scoring. Pucks that fall off the end go into the "alley" and are out of play for that round. Why Shuffleboard Is the Perfect Bar Game There are a lot of reasons why shuffleboard has survived in bars for five centuries while plenty of other games have come and gone. First, it is genuinely accessible. Unlike pool, where a complete beginner can ruin their own game in the first two minutes just by scratching repeatedly, shuffleboard gives everyone something to work with immediately. You slide a puck. It goes somewhere. That somewhere matters. The feedback loop is instant and satisfying. Second, it scales beautifully. A relaxed two-player game with cold beers is exactly the same setup as an intensely competitive four-player doubles match. The same table, the same rules, entirely different energy depending on who is playing and how much is riding on it. Third — and this is the one that matters most in a social setting — it is a game you can play while still being part of the room. You are not hunched over a screen or blocked from conversation. You take your shot, step back, watch what happens, and talk. It keeps groups together rather than pulling them into separate lanes. Shuffleboard in Bali: What to Expect at The Melting Pot Saloon The Melting Pot Saloon is Ubud's only Texas-style saloon, open daily from 10:30am until 2:00am. The shuffleboard table is available to hire at 120,000 IDR per hour and sits inside a venue that already has more going on than most bars in Bali can offer across their entire floor plan. On any given night, the shuffleboard table sits alongside 10 full-sized pool tables, a full-sized snooker table, axe throwing, darts, ping pong, foosball, air hockey, a basketball machine, and arcade games — all under the same roof. There are 23 beers on tap, 19 of them craft beers. The kitchen turns out Texas-style pub food until late: burgers, ribs, quesadillas, Texas chili. The screens are running live sport with sound always on. The shuffleboard table itself is properly maintained and ready to play. Staff can explain the rules if you have never played before — it takes about two minutes to get someone up and running. Walk-ins are always welcome. Free entry, every day. Who Is Shuffleboard Best For? In short: almost everyone. But here are the groups who tend to love it most at The Melting Pot Saloon. Groups and large tables. Doubles shuffleboard (two vs two) is one of the best group games in the venue. It is loud, it produces moments of genuine drama, and it does not require any prior skill. If you are figuring out what to do in Ubud with a group of four to eight people, this is one of the most consistently fun options in town. Couples and pairs. Head-to-head shuffleboard has a surprisingly competitive edge to it that makes it great for a two-person evening out. It holds your attention without demanding your full concentration, which means the conversation keeps flowing. Solo travellers and hostel crowds. The Melting Pot Saloon is one of the few venues in Ubud where striking up a game with strangers is completely natural. Shuffleboard is a great icebreaker — the rules take thirty seconds to explain and a game gives you a reason to keep chatting. Anyone who has played before and wants to again. Australians, Americans, British, and Dutch guests often light up when they see the shuffleboard table, because they grew up with it and have not played in years. If that is you, come in — you will have the table mostly to yourselves, because the rest of Ubud does not know what they are missing. Other Activities at The Melting Pot Saloon Shuffleboard is the rarest game we offer, but it is far from the only reason people make the walk down Jalan Raya Pengosekan. Axe throwing is available for 175,000 IDR per person for 30 minutes or 310,000 IDR per person for an hour. The Melting Pot Saloon is one of the only venues in Bali offering axe throwing, which makes it one of the most genuinely unusual things to do in Ubud at night. Pool tables — 10 full-sized tables plus a snooker table — are available for hourly rental. These are consistently the busiest games in the venue, but the shuffleboard table is almost always available because so few people know to ask for it. Darts, foosball, ping pong, air hockey, basketball machine and classic arcade games round out a lineup that makes The Melting Pot the most activity-rich bar in Ubud by a significant margin. If you are looking for fun things to do in Ubud beyond temple visits and rice terrace walks, this is the place.
