When the University of Oregon Ducks have an away game, or when you don't have tickets to Autzen Stadium but still want to cheer on the team during a home game — catch the spirit at one of these popular and fun places for watching the Duck game in Eugene-Springfield. Across the country, you can also connect with other Oregon fans at alumni-organized watch parties.

Best Bets For Watching the Football Game

Oregon is in the Big Ten! If you are unable to access the Big Ten Network because it is not available on Comcast Xfinity, you can stream the game with a subscription to a service like Peacock, Hulu or YouTubeTV and more. Games may also be available through ESPN, ABC, FOX, CBS or NBC. The Register-Guard has more information on the variety of programs and services that may carry the Duck games. Games are also broadcast on the Oregon Sports Network (radio) and you can also download the game app on your phone for all the latest buzz, social streaming and live audio broadcasting on game day.

Another option is to hang out with other fans at a local pub or a sports bar that has the game on! Please verify directly with the sports bar to confirm their access to the game before making your plans. Some suggestions are listed below, but some may not be able to show every game.

The Bier Stein

Wear your Oregon Duck colors and show up at The Bier Stein to watch the football game. They feature special game day menus such as maple mustard chicken wings, chili cheese fries, cauliflower bites and The Bier Stein's signature bier cheese soup. Along with two TVs at the front and back bars, Bier Stein shows the game via Fubo on a 6700 lumen laser projector with a 12 foot screen and streams it on their 75 inch U-Bar TV that usually displays the tap-list. They have confirmed streaming access.

Lemon & Olive

In the heart of downtown Eugene, get your game on at this gourmet cocktail lounge with foodie presentations of stadium favorites. Try house made sausages on brioche with celery root truffle slaw or mustard cheese sauce or mushroom "chili". This will class up any game day rituals. They are streaming the game on Sling and have confirmed game access.

6th Street Grill & Pub 

The 6th Street Grill's sports bar has the right sports bar vibes for watching UO football on the big screen. With a full bar and delicious pub food, 6th Street has been a classy collegiate watering hole for decades. It is also a pre-and post-game hangout.

The Paddock Saloon & Grill

 The Paddock is a South Eugene neighborhood favorite with a full bar, TVs with the Big Ten Network and an outdoor patio. Sports fans know this was where Steve Prefontaine, the running legend, bartended back in the 70s. Tributes to other University of Oregon athletes adorn the walls creating a festive atmosphere for cheering on your team.

Sam's Place Tavern 

At Sam's Place Tavern their 25 TVs (one in every booth) and friendly atmosphere makes for a convivial sports watching gathering place. Enter in the entrance that is specially for "Duck fans"... the other door is for the Beavers. 

The Cooler 

Close to Autzen Stadium, The Cooler is a dedicated sports bar with a country flair. On game days, gather here before, after and during the Duck game! They have an outdoor patio, over 18 TVs (including a 20 foot projection), multiple commercial subscription packages (so chances are - they have the game you want!) and a popular pub menu.

Sunriver Brewing Co.

This craft brewery location at Oakway Center is close to Autzen Stadium and a perfect place to catch the game. Sunriver Brewing has several large screens above the bar and offers a delicious pub menu. Please call ahead to confirm if they are able to show the game.

Detering Orchard

This unusual football hub is in Oregon Wine Country in the midst of farmland. Pull up a seat at the outdoor bar at Detering Orchard — where you can sip ciders and craft beer, catch the game on the bar's one 42" screen (if the game is showing on ABC, ESPN, FOX and FS1), and shop for pumpkins, apples, preserves and more in their abundant farm stand and u-pick fields. All games are broadcast on the radio. Fun activities including a playground, live animals and mechanical bull riding keep the kids entertained.

Falling Sky Brewpub

Falling Sky gets fired up for the games! Not only do they have a craft beer they named Yell-OOO IPA (and if you wear a Yell-OOO t-shirt they'll give you a $1 off menu items), they even have a brew affectionally called "Puddles". Please call ahead to see if they will be showing the games, as it will depend on access.

Drop Bear Brewery
