Derby World Cup watch party starts from £6 on July 1

Big matches, a huge HD screen and a warehouse crowd are the draw for Derby football fans on Wednesday, 1 July 2026, when World Cup Watch Parties – Live At Ultra Warehouse hosts live coverage of England v DR Congo.

The Watch Party takes place at Ultra Warehouse, 9 Downing Road, Derby, DE21 6HA. Kick-off is listed as 5pm, with standard tickets priced from £6 and VIP tickets from £40. The event is aimed at football fans who want to watch the match in a fan-zone setting rather than at home or in a small pub crowd.

According to Visit Derby Events, tickets are available through the Visit Derby website. The listing advises people to verify event information directly with the host or facilitator before making bookings or plans.

England v DR Congo on a giant screen in Derby

Ultra Warehouse is billing the event around live World Cup match coverage on a huge HD screen, with the venue set up for what the listing describes as full stadium-style energy. The source text names this as part of England’s World Cup journey, with the 1 July fixture specifically listed as England v DR Congo.

The format is straightforward: a large shared screen, a crowd of supporters and match-night extras around the football. For fans who want noise, reactions and a communal setting, the appeal is less about simply seeing the game and more about watching it among hundreds of other supporters.

The listing does not give a full running order beyond the 5pm kick-off time, so attendees should treat that as the confirmed match timing rather than a complete event schedule.

Ticket options and what VIP includes

General entry starts from £6. A VIP option is listed from £40 and includes reserved front-row seating, a pint on arrival and a food token.

The VIP package is the only upgraded ticket detail included in the source. No other seating categories, age restrictions or entry conditions are listed in the provided event information.

Food, bar and live entertainment

The event listing says street food traders will be available throughout, alongside a fully stocked bar. Live entertainment is also included among the advertised features.

That mix points to an event shaped around the full match-night window rather than just the 90 minutes on screen. Supporters planning to arrive early should still check the ticket page or host details before travelling, because the source confirms the kick-off time but does not list doors-opening information.

The source does not provide accessibility details or transport notes. Anyone who needs step-free access, parking information or specific arrival arrangements should confirm those points directly before booking.

Practical details before booking

The event is listed by Visit Derby Events as taking place at Ultra Warehouse, 9 Downing Road, Derby, DE21 6HA, on Wednesday, 1 July 2026. Tickets are shown as available to book, with prices from £6 and VIP tickets from £40.

For Derby fans considering the Watch Party, the confirmed draw is the combination of a giant HD screen, street food traders, a stocked bar, live entertainment and a crowd setting for England v DR Congo. The listing also carries a standard disclaimer that event details are supplied by organisers, advertisers and partners, and recommends checking directly with the event host or facilitator before making plans.
