Canada will host its opening game on June 12th, at BMO Feild as will the USA with their opening games at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium.

Toronto plays host to five group-stage games, as well as Vancouver. The game dates for Toronto include:

  •  Friday, June 12
  •  Wednesday, June 17
  •  Saturday, June 20
  •  Tuesday, June 23
  •  Friday, June 26

For the round of 32 – two games will be played on July 2nd, one in Vancouver and Toronto.

The dates for the matches have been a long time coming with Toronto selected as a host city in June 2022.

The City of Toronto put out a release in February to share the excitement, with Mayor Olivia Chow stating, “As Mayor of Toronto, I am thrilled to see our city chosen as a host for six matches in the FIFA World Cup 26. With open arms, Toronto will welcome the world to experience the rich diversity and dynamism of our multicultural city.”

While tickets aren’t available just yet, it’s a good time to start planning your travels if you’re going to be coming to Toronto for any of the matches or events.

See you at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Toronto!
