Soaring temperatures have convinced me it’s time to take my World Cup viewing outside — and these cheap projector deals mean garden watch parties are more affordable than ever
We’re nearing the end of the World Cup 2026 group stages, and things are hotting up — both metaphorically and literally. A temperatures in my living room soar, I’ve decided it’s time to take my game viewing outside, where I can enjoy the action with the cool evening breeze on my face.
For that, I need a projector — and now’s a really good time to buy one. We’re in the middle of the Amazon Prime Day sale (with retailers like Currys, AO and Very running rival deals events), so there are plenty of discounts to be had if you know where to look.

Below, I’ve rounded up the best projector deals I’ve spotted, including the ones I’m deciding between for my own al fresco watch parties. I’ve stuck to sub-£450 buys here, which means they’re more basic options, and most are compact and portable, too. If you’re looking for something higher-end that will be more of a permanent fixture, head to our best projector guide for our top picks.
Xgimi’s range is worth checking out in particular, as are Anker‘s Nebula projectors. We haven’t reviewed these specific models, but we have tested similar products from those brands, and been impressed. Our Anker Nebula Mars 3 is the larger and higher-specced sibling of the Mars 3 Air Mini featured below, for instance, and scored four stars in our review. We called the Xgimi Mogo 3 “a strong contender for the portable projector crown”, too — and its successor is included in my deals roundup.
