The 2026 FIFA World Cup has arrived.
This tournament marks the third World Cup appearance for the Canadian men’s national team, after previous appearances in 1986 and 2022.
The largest FIFA World Cup in history, 104 matches are taking place across 16 host cities in North America, including the Canadian host cities of Vancouver (seven) and Toronto (six).
Bell Media has the exclusive broadcast rights in Canada for the 2026 World Cup, with every match available on television via TSN. TSN is also streaming every match via its website and app, for a cost of $29.99 per month.
There will also be select games televised on CTV and streamed through Crave, with plans starting at $11.99 per month. Crave will get you access to 44 live matches, including Canada’s games and the finals.
TSN is dedicating a ton of resources to the World Cup, as evidenced by its team of reporters covering the tournament.
Here’s a look at its broadcast team:
Ranked 30th in the world, Canada is in Group B, along with Switzerland (19), Qatar (56), and Bosnia and Herzegovina (64).
Canada must finish first or second in the group to advance to the knockout round, or finish as one of the eight best third-place teams.
Each country plays three group-stage matches, with Canada’s first taking place in Toronto. The final two group-stage matches for Canada will take place at BC Place in Vancouver.
