With the World Cup in full swing, Watch Party Radar shows you where to catch the latest match from anywhere in the world.
How it works: Watch Party Radar aggregates websites, social media posts, and articles about venues offering viewing opportunities and makes them accessible on a map.
- No business has to sign up or pay, and it's open to users.
- Search for your city, and if it's not there, the Watch Party Radar will add it.
Zoom in: 216 locations are listed across Kansas City.
Yes, but: The Current Landing watch parties aren't listed, so it's not perfect.
The context: Stefan and Dennis Tan built the database and map because they often travel for work and found it difficult to find a place to watch sporting events with fellow fans.
- "The World Cup felt like the perfect moment to fix (that), because cheering alongside fellow countrymen makes it come alive even more," Stefan tells Axios.
- "I am Dutch and moved to the US, so I am always hunting for the bar with orange in it (you can imagine how that goes)."
Zoom out: The database started with 100 cities and around 5,000 venues, and now has more than 300 cities and 25,000 venues, Stefan says.
The bottom line: There's no shortage of places to catch a match.
