‘I bought this one week ago – more affordable than I have seen than other stores’
Few things beat cracking open a cold beer with mates while soaking up all the thrills of a World Cup fixture. A pint has a unique ability to unite people, transforming a room full of strangers into a passionate crowd cheering for the same team.
Pubs and fan zones truly come to life during the tournament, with the sound of clinking glasses merging with the roar of supporters. However, they can become incredibly packed, and a visit to the pub can swiftly turn into a boisterous — and often costly — affair that isn’t to everyone’s taste.
Millions of Brits prefer to watch the tournament from the comfort of their own homes, with food, drink and great company all close to hand. Fortunately, supermarket staple Sainsbury’s has put together some cracking beer bundle deals that can be purchased online or in store when shoppers use their Nectar card.

The Nectar loyalty scheme not only enables shoppers to save on thousands of products, but also allows them to accumulate points on everyday spending. Right now there are fantastic deals on popular snacks, crisps, sharing platters, party food, pizzas, drinks, dips and sides, as well as multi-buy beer deals ideal for the football.
A perfect match for this sweltering weather, Cruzcampo Sevilla Lager Beer features a light, fruity hop aroma and a malty, slightly sweet flavour that complements spicy food brilliantly. A box of 12 x 330ml bottles is currently priced at £13.35 at Sainsbury’s, but Nectar Card holders can grab two boxes for £20 — bringing the cost down to just 83p each, reports the Mirror.

The 2 for £20 deal is also available on a box of 20 x 330ml Budweiser bottles – the official beer of the FIFA World Cup 2026. An enduring classic, each bottle is brewed from the finest barley malt, rice and hops to produce a crisp, clean taste with a smooth, refreshing finish. Normally retailing at £18 per box, cardholders with a thirst to quench can pick up 40 bottles for just 50p each.
A firm favourite, shoppers who have taken advantage of the Bud multi-buy deal from Sainsbury’s have left enthusiastic reviews on the website. One remarked: “I bought this one week ago – more affordable than I have seen than other stores.”
Another noted: “I buy this product every time I order online. It’s always in date and has an excellent fresh taste!” A third simply stated: “Great beer to enjoy on match days.”
One purchaser was not quite so enthusiastic, commenting: “I think this beer is weaker than it used to be.”
While drinking responsibly is always paramount, for larger get-togethers Sainsbury’s has also included the bigger 440ml Budweiser cans in the deal, with two boxes of 15 cans available for £17.50 each or two for £23.
For those who prefer cider, the Strongbow Dark Fruit Ciders 10 can multipack is also part of the deal. Offering 20 cans of the refreshing and fruity drink made with British cider apples, the multi-buy deal brings the price down to £1 per can.
Other lager enthusiasts can also savour a pint while watching the match, with both Fosters and Stella Artois featured in the offer. Naturally, if a chilled glass of wine is preferred, customers can save 25% off three bottles of wine, as well as a selection of soft drinks for younger supporters and designated drivers.
As football fever sweeps across the nation, Tesco is marking its very own Summer of Sport with offers on merchandise, drinks, snacks, and summer entertaining ideas. Meanwhile at Marks and Spencer, there are numerous England T-shirts, caps, tops and more available to demonstrate your support wherever you’re going.
