If you enjoy your sports on the big screen, surrounded by fellow supporters and opponents, you will be happy to know that there are loads of sports bars and British pubs scattered throughout Gothenburg. And they are not only based in central Gothenburg, two good alternatives are Tidbloms at Olskrokstorget and the Red Lion at Mariaplan.
Football and hockey are the most televised sports, but if your interests lie elsewhere, some locales also show the rugby, cricket, NFL and basketball.
