"BMO Field is one of World Cup 2026's two Canadian venues and will host six matches including Canada's opener against the winner of Path A in UEFA's remaining play-off qualifying matches. It's one of 16 World Cup 2026 venues across the United States, Mexico and Canada, and is the smallest of all. It will be known as 'Toronto Stadium' for the duration of the competition."
"BMO Field in Toronto, Ontario, is the only soccer-specific stadium in the United States or Canada to be awarded host venue status at World Cup 2026. It was built for Toronto FC, an expansion club that first competed in Major League Soccer in the 2007 season. It has previous experience of hosting Canada's national teams and will hold six matches in June and July."
"'Toronto Stadium' will be the smallest venue at the World Cup but its second significant upgrade in a decade will increase its capacity and give 45,000 fans the chance to watch Canada's opening match at the city's first-ever men's World Cup fixture. BMO Field has been a neutral venue for Major League Soccer's MLS Cup season finale on one occasion and twice consecutively as the home of Toronto FC."
BMO Field sits on the north-western bank of Lake Ontario on the site of four previous stadiums and is accessible by train to Exhibition or tram to Harbourfront and Bathurst. The venue is one of 16 World Cup 2026 sites across the United States, Mexico and Canada and one of two Canadian hosts. The only soccer-specific stadium in the United States or Canada awarded host status, it will stage six matches including Canada's opener against the Path A UEFA play-off winner. The stadium will be renamed Toronto Stadium for the tournament, receive a capacity-increasing upgrade to 45,000, and has prior experience hosting national-team and MLS fixtures including MLS Cup finals and Toronto FC's 2017 title.
