Our HD equipment is quite unique in Rome, and we can reassure you that you won't find another bar where you can catch the rugby atmosphere better than at Highlander Pub! This page is regularly updated with most of the Rugby Union and Rugby League events happening around the world, mainly in Europe. However, if you don’t see the match you’re looking for listed, just call or email us — we should still be able to show your game! We can also show any club tournaments — just email us!
Want to catch any of the matches? Drop us a line at [email protected], and we’ll do our best to show the games live at Highlander Rome.

* upon request - the games that are marked "upon request" need to be requested at least a couple of hours before the start of those. Once you request them you need to be at The Highlander at least 30 minutes before kick off time (or, for the late games 30 min before our closing time)! We cannot guarantee their broadcasting on our screens if you arrive at The Highlander in the last minute before their start or even worse - when they have already started
** already requested - the games that have been "already requested" might not be necessarily televised if the people who have requested them fail to arrive 30 min prior to the start of those games (or, for the late games 30 before the closing time). Generally those games coincide with many other venues and sometimes other guests end up requesting additional events in the last minute. Certainly we accommodate them in case the customers who have made the original requests do not show up.
