Looking for a bar to watch West Ham

Szia!
Me and some friends will be in Budapest on May 24, and we are looking for somewhere that could show the Leeds vs West Ham match
I know it will not be the most popular match on TV that day, but I wondered if anyone would have some recommendations for where we could try to find a bar / pub to watch the match?
I’m absolutely sure there are absolutely millions of West Ham fans in Budapest who will definitely know the answer to this very specific question, but any help would be much appreciated!
Köszönöm!

remember you can't just do a google translate with our language. szia ≠ hello to multiple people. only to one person. sziasztok is hello plural.
your question isn't so specific. often we get tourists who want to watch some match or sport that has niche interest for hungary. if you don't want to depend on the whims of a bartender, then reserve a table a champs on dohány utca, they are a sport bar that has a lot of tvs and the capability to get most anything that is being broadcasted,
remember, in this region, we plan things, if it is important, you make advance reservations. we even reserve tables in pubs, especially so if we have a group. i sometimes see groups of tourists who think they can walk in just anywhere. they are either turned away or treated coldly.

Good to know, thank you I will look to see if we can reserve any where good to watch the match
Sorry for the google translation, the Hungarian language is a thing of beauty and yet also absolutely insane, I’ve been to Budapest before and I asked a local how to say something you and he was like… don’t worry about it it’s too hard
I like to be polite though, so if there’s a way of saying, hello, goodbye and thank you I could use correctly in small talk, that would make me feel like less of a tourist and at least like I’ve made an effort

Mozaik bár, near Keleti railway station if you ask the lady at the bar table she will switch the TV to that match. :) Many bars, pubs does the same in Budapest.

Amazing, much appreciated
I wasn’t if it would asking to change the game that is shown would be seen as rude / annoying, but hopefully it’ll be ok!

Nahh it's okay there are like 5 TV's in that bar. I really hope that West Ham stays in premier leauge because i would love to see a West Ham vs Millwall derby :)

I would love that too, I’d love to see us play Millwall at some point… I also hope that we are safe from relegation before we go to Budapest otherwise that match could ruin my holiday !
