Want to throw the ultimate World Cup watch party? Start with these picks

Nothing’s more important than wide viewing angles when you’re watching much of the action from behind the doorframe, and that’s one of many departments in which the Samsung S90F OLED excels. It earned a 4.5-star review, thanks to a level of picture performance you’d expect from a far pricier model.

They’ll come for the game, but stay for perfectly seared burgers and juicy smoked chicken. Our 5-star review crowns the Weber Spirit EP-425 the king of gas grills, and best of all it’s a doddle to get started, and not too painful to clean either.

We can’t promise it’ll help you make sense of VAR, but the Sonos Arc Ultra sounds so spectacular you’ll feel as if you’re pitchside. In our 5-star review we hailed it as the best soundbar money can buy — emphatically so, now that the price has dropped. Mass booing never sounded so good.

Good to have lying around for those inevitable “Even my Grandma could have scored that” moments. Could she really? Or more to the point, could any of you? The pro model isn’t cheap, but at least there’ll be no excuses when someone ends up with egg on their face.

If bigger’s better and you’d like the option to take things outside, the Anker Nebula X1 is one of our favorite projectors not only because of its bright visuals and rich color palette, but because it’s so quick and easy to set up. Handy for when the heavens open.

Drinks remained cold for eight days and ice only started melting after five in testing, and there’s capacity for 68 cans. You can go a week between trips to the fridge. There’s a compartment for food too. You won’t want to lug the Ninja Frostvault cooler up- and downstairs, but it’s perfect for a World Cup party.

Celebrations hit different in your own backyard, but it’s also an underrated place for locking your fingers behind your head, staring into space and stewing. Govee’s smart string lights won’t just protect you from a stubbed toe in the dark. They’ll lift you when times are bad and keep your World Cup party going when they’re good — even syncing with your music.

The World Cup trophy is 36.8cm tall and weighs 6.175kg. This glass is 20.2cm and 0.65kg. Do you see where we’re going? Fill it up, plonk the Trionda on top and stage your very own official (in a way) trophy lift. Plus it’ll make for a fond piece of World Cup memorabilia one day.

Perfect for blitzing up frozen margaritas the night of, and restorative smoothies the morning after, like Alphonso Davies the Vitamix Ascent X2 can do it all. So powerful it crushes ice with ease, in testing this beauty whipped up some stellar dips and desserts too. It even has a self-cleaning cycle and dishwasher-safe components.

A proper World Cup party calls for crispy fried wings and mozzarella sticks. But there's no need for greasy nonsense – the Ninja Air Fryer Pro 4-in-1 is the healthier alternative for cooking party snacks while you watch the world's greatest goal-scorers in action. Game changer.
