Toronto World Cup 2026: Matches, Venues, and Travel Guide
2026-04-17
Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and it's about to host the biggest sporting event on the planet. BMO Field on the waterfront will be the stage for group stage and early knockout matches.
BMO Field
Originally built as a 20,000-seat soccer-specific stadium in 2007, BMO Field has been expanded to 45,000 for the World Cup. The natural grass pitch and open-air design create an electric atmosphere. The stadium is located at Exhibition Place, accessible by streetcar from downtown.
Where to Stay
Downtown Toronto hotels are within 30 minutes of the stadium. The Entertainment District, King West, and Liberty Village neighborhoods offer the best combination of proximity and nightlife. Book early as prices surge during the tournament.
What to Do
Beyond the matches, Toronto offers the CN Tower, Royal Ontario Museum, Distillery District, and Kensington Market. The city's restaurant scene is world-class, with every cuisine represented. On match days, fan zones will pop up across the waterfront.
