FIFA World Cup 2026 Toronto

FIFA World Cup 2026 in Toronto

Toronto’s hosting run puts the city’s waterfront on the global stage, with six World Cup 2026 matches scheduled at Exhibition Place across June and early July. The opening Toronto date is June 12, 2026, and the city also hosts a Round of 32 match on July 2, 2026, giving fans both group-stage urgency and knockout stakes. Between matchdays, the neighborhoods around downtown, the lakefront, and the city’s food scene turn the trip into a full itinerary.

Witness the FIFA World Cup at BMO Field

Built for tight sight lines and loud lower-bowl moments, BMO Field sits steps from the lakeshore with easy transit access and a festival-ready footprint around Exhibition Place. For planning, the current BMO Field capacity is about 30,000 for Toronto FC soccer, with a planned temporary expansion to 45,736 for World Cup 2026. That added scale sets the stage for a confirmed group-stage matchup, Germany vs. Côte d’Ivoire. It also matters for two other national teams already scheduled to play here: Canada and Croatia.
