SINGAPORE, June 19 — McDonald’s Singapore is turning 16 of its outlets into football viewing spots as World Cup fever grips the country.
The announcement was made on its Instagram account today, marking a reversal of its stance two weeks ago when the fast food chain said it would not be screening this year’s World Cup at its outlets.
Selected restaurants will stream live matches across the tournament period, with screenings scheduled at Ang Mo Kio, Bedok Reservoir, Jurong East 24, Kallang, Punggol Safra, Sengkang Sports Complex, Tampines Neighbourhood 3 and others.
Screening times will differ by outlet and advised customers to check directly with individual restaurants for match schedules.
McDonald’s has long tied itself to the tournament, previously showing matches across 41 outlets in 2014, 34 in 2010, 28 in 2006 and 19 locations in 2022.
Fans can also join a July 20 final watch party at Marine Cove from 2am to 6am, redeemable via 5,000 MyMcDonald’s Rewards points for up to five guests per entry.
The event will feature an unlimited serving of Chicken McNuggets and fries throughout the screening.
