Visiting Madrid during Oktoberfest season

Oktoberfest Madrid 2026: the dates

Oktoberfest Madrid 2026 runs from Thursday 22 October to Sunday 15 November, Thursdays to Sundays only, at Westfield Parquesur, in Leganés, south of the city. It is an external event: Dubliners does not organise it and has no connection with it. For tickets, opening times and getting there, check the organisers’ own channels.

If those weeks bring you to Madrid, or you are already living here, this page is about the rest of your time in the city centre: where to meet up, have a beer and catch the game.

Dubliners: an international pub by Sol

Dubliners is an Irish pub at Calle de Espoz y Mina 7, in the centre of Madrid, between Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor. Locals, visitors, Erasmus students and fans from many countries share the same room: beer at the bar, German draught beer included, screens for sport, and conversations in English, Spanish and plenty of other languages.

Thursday to Sunday: live sport we have confirmed

These are the four Thursday-to-Sunday stretches of the Oktoberfest weeks and some of the matches already confirmed on our screens (Madrid time). The full list, updated every week, is on What’s On.
