South Africa v New Zealand: Where to Watch the Fourth Test in Munich
On Thursday 1 October 2026, Germany face Serbia at Munich's Allianz Arena, and FC Bayern reported on 22 September that match tickets were still available.
An international football match in Munich always changes the rhythm of the city as the national team plays in front of a home crowd. FC Bayern described this UEFA Nations League fixture as the third game in charge of Germany for Jürgen Klopp. A report from Kuwait Times noted that Klopp’s era with the national squad began with a "new approach." Fans are eager to see how his tactics look on the pitch.
For locals watching the screens, the match has a strong local connection. FC Bayern identified Lennart Karl, Aleksandar Pavlović, Tom Bischof and Jonas Urbig as four Bayern players who could feature for Germany. Seeing familiar club players step up for the national side adds an extra layer of interest to the evening. People love cheering for their own club players during international breaks.
We have been part of Schwabing nightlife since 1989. Over the decades, we have watched the streets change while the essential pub experience stays exactly the same. The Shamrock grew around the things that still define us today: pints, conversation, karaoke, quiz nights, comedy and sport. A solid local night out in Schwabing often starts with a football match and ends with a great party.
Sport is a permanent feature of our venue rather than an occasional add-on. Because rugby and football are a real part of our weekly pub life, our layout naturally adapts to big fixtures. Our team has built a reliable environment for watching the Six Nations, Premier League, Champions League, NFL, Formula 1 and World Cup nights. We know how to keep the drinks flowing while the action unfolds on the screens.
Schwabing is a fantastic neighborhood for evening entertainment with a rich history of artists, students and musicians sharing ideas over a cold glass. Before a football match, the streets around Giselastraße and Münchner Freiheit fill up with people looking for a good spot. Wandering through these streets before heading to the pub gives you a real feel for the local culture. The energy on the pavements builds steadily as the evening kick-off approaches.
The game is officially listed by UEFA as a League A, Group A2 fixture. It takes place on Matchday 3 of the 2026/27 Nations League. The date is set for Thursday 1 October 2026. Kick-off is scheduled for 20:45 CEST.
Germany is competing in a competitive bracket this season. UEFA confirmed that Germany, the Netherlands, Serbia and Greece make up Group A2. Every point matters in this stage of the competition. The late evening start time is perfect for an evening watching live sports after finishing work or walking around the city.
The match falls right in the middle of a busy international football window. UEFA scheduled Matchday 3 of the Nations League league phase for 30 September to 3 October 2026. This means Munich will see a lively few days of football conversation.
Fans have a few different options for watching the game on 1 October. FC Bayern reported that tickets remained available to buy when they published their update on 22 September. Anyone hoping to sit in the stands at the Allianz Arena should check the official club website for current availability. Keep in mind that inventory can change rapidly as kick-off approaches.
For those who prefer a pub setting, finding a local venue is an easy alternative. You do not need a stadium ticket to enjoy the atmosphere of an international football night. A good pub puts you right in the middle of the action with clear screens and cold drinks. Our staff make sure the service is efficient so you do not miss key moments of the game.
We see match nights as social nights rather than just screen time. When you pull up a stool in the pub, the shared focus on the broadcast breaks the ice immediately. Sitting near the bar makes it easy to react with the room, ask questions, talk football and end up in a conversation with people you did not arrive with. It is a brilliant way to spend a Thursday evening.
This shared focus means that sports nights work well for people arriving alone too. You do not need to show up with a large group to feel comfortable. Solo visitors can simply grab a pint, find a sightline to a screen and let the game provide the conversation starters. We always welcome people who just want a casual and friendly place to watch the football.
If you are organising a group, getting your timing right is important. We recommend checking with your chosen venue to ensure the game will be shown with sound. Some bars might play music over the broadcast, so verifying the audio setup is a smart move. Arriving early guarantees a good spot before the 20:45 CEST kick-off.
Watching a football match at home is convenient but it lacks the collective energy of a live crowd. When Germany scores a goal, a quiet living room cannot compare to a cheering pub. The Shamrock is designed to bring people together for exactly these moments. The sudden groans for a missed chance and the loud celebration of a great tackle are what make live sports special.
Finding an Irish pub in Munich where drinks, people and atmosphere matter more than dining means you get a genuine pub experience. Nobody expects you to dress up or pretend to be a football expert. You might be a dedicated fan tracking every group stage point, or you might just want an excuse to have a pint. Both types of people belong in our pub.
The mix of locals, expats, students and international visitors creates a brilliant and welcoming vibe. Our pub quiz in English and German shows how much we love a mixed crowd, and our sports nights are exactly the same. We love seeing different groups mingle and share their passion for the game. The energy builds steadily as the match goes on.
We run Student Karaoke on Tuesdays for students who want a social night without taking the microphone too seriously. Tuesday nights show the playful side of the pub, while Thursday match nights bring out the sporting passion. The contrast between a singing crowd and a sporting crowd keeps our week interesting. For Student Karaoke, guests can sing solo, bring a friend up with them or join from the crowd.
Whether you are singing on a Tuesday or shouting at a referee on a Thursday, the core idea is exactly the same. You come to join in and be part of the room. Live pub events only work when the room is fully engaged.
The physical layout of our pub encourages people to talk across tables and share the experience. You are never isolated when the game is on the big screen. We intentionally keep the lighting and the volume at the right level for both watching the game and chatting. It is this balance that makes an Irish pub the perfect venue for international football.
Once the final whistle blows on the Germany against Serbia game, the football conversation will not stop. UEFA scheduled the broader Nations League Matchday 3 to run from 30 September to 3 October 2026. This means there will be plenty of other results to catch up on over the weekend.
Fans will want to keep a close eye on the other Group A2 fixture. The Netherlands and Greece are also fighting for points in this highly competitive group. How they perform will directly impact Germany’s chances of progressing further in the tournament. Tracking the wider group standings gives fans plenty to discuss during their weekend pub visits.
Looking beyond this specific international break, the football calendar is packed with domestic and European fixtures. We will continue to host fans for the biggest matches of the season. To learn more about our venue and history, you can read about The Shamrock. Keep an eye on our schedule for the next big game, gather your friends and come down to enjoy the action with us.
Assuming that a major Germany fixture requires spending your evening in a stressful venue can easily ruin the night, but Shamrock offers a far more relaxed alternative. When finding a social night out in Schwabing that does not feel formal, exclusive or club-like, Shamrock provides a recurring bilingual pub quiz designed so German and English-speaking teams can take part together.
