Updated: 2026-07-10 | BMO Field (Toronto Stadium) finished all 6 of its World Cup matches on July 2; the schedule below has been updated with the actual results
Toronto is one of Canada’s two 2026 World Cup host cities (the other being Vancouver), with all its matches concentrated at downtown lakefront BMO Field. This venue is normally the traditional home of the Canadian men’s national team and Toronto FC, and carried the tournament-only name “Toronto Stadium” during the World Cup. If you followed the tournament here in Canada, this article lays out the Toronto venue’s fixtures, ticketing situation, and Canada’s complete schedule all in one place.
The most important fact first: Toronto’s venue hosted 6 matches in total, including 5 group-stage games and 1 Round-of-32 knockout match, spanning June 12 to July 2, now all complete. The one that drew the most local attention was Canada’s opening match on June 12, against Bosnia and Herzegovina, ending 1–1 as Cyle Larin equalized for the hosts in the 78th minute, marking a historic first point for Canadian men’s soccer at a home World Cup.
BMO Field (Toronto Stadium) Schedule and Results, All 6 Matches
Below are the actual results of Toronto’s 6 matches; with the July 2 Round-of-32 match complete, BMO Field’s role in this World Cup has fully concluded, with no further matches to be played there:
| Date (2026) | Stage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| June 12 | Group Stage | Canada 1–1 Bosnia and Herzegovina (opener; Cyle Larin equalized, 78′) |
| June 17 | Group Stage | Ghana 1–0 Panama (Caleb Yirenkyi scored in second-half stoppage time) |
| June 20 | Group Stage | Germany 2–1 Ivory Coast (Deniz Undav scored twice late) |
| June 23 | Group Stage | Croatia 1–0 Panama (Ante Budimir, 54′; Panama eliminated) |
| June 26 | Group Stage | Senegal 5–0 Iraq (one Iraq player sent off) |
| July 2 | Round of 32 | Portugal 2–1 Croatia (Gonçalo Ramos’s stoppage-time winner sent Portugal through to face Spain) |
Beyond Canada’s opener, Toronto also hosted a few notable European and African clashes with real weight — Germany vs Ivory Coast and Croatia vs Panama were both compelling in their own right.
Canada’s fixtures: Toronto first, then a switch to Vancouver
Canada was drawn into Group B, alongside Bosnia and Herzegovina, Qatar, and Switzerland. As hosts, all three of Canada’s group matches were played on home soil, arranged “east first, then west” — an important detail for anyone following the team:
| Date (2026) | Match | City / Venue |
|---|---|---|
| June 12 | Canada vs Bosnia and Herzegovina | BMO Field, Toronto (3:00 PM ET) |
| June 18 | Canada vs Qatar | BC Place, Vancouver |
| June 24 | Canada vs Switzerland | BC Place, Vancouver |
Canada ultimately advanced to the Round of 16 as group runners-up, marking the team’s first-ever World Cup knockout-stage appearance; anyone hoping to catch all three Canada group matches at the time needed to fly from Toronto to Vancouver, spanning the entire country. The flight between the two cities takes about 4.5 hours, with a 3-hour time difference (Toronto on Eastern Time, ET; Vancouver on Pacific Time, PT) — worth factoring in for anyone following the team across cities. Entry and area information for the Vancouver matches is covered in our Vancouver viewing guide.
As an aside, Toronto’s opening match converted to Taiwan time landed around 3:00 AM on June 13 (Taiwan runs 12 hours ahead of Toronto’s daylight time) — anyone in Taiwan hoping to watch live needed to prepare mentally for that time slot.
Prices and Ticket Availability: BMO Field’s Matches Are All Complete (Post-Tournament Recap)
With Toronto’s 6 matches concluded on July 2, it’s no longer possible to buy tickets to see World Cup matches at BMO Field. The following retains the sales mechanism from during the tournament, for recap or future reference:
Ticketing at the time had two key points. First, price. FIFA used “dynamic pricing” this tournament, with prices shifting by match demand, seating section, and purchase timing. The official floor was set at roughly USD 60 per ticket, though this applied to a limited-quantity Supporter Tier, mostly distributed through national football associations and not generally available through public sale; general public group-stage prices jumped noticeably higher, with popular matches pricier still.
Second, sales timing. FIFA’s major sales phases — the Visa presale draw, the Early Ticket Draw, and the large-scale Random Selection Draw — had all concluded by early 2026, with draw results emailed out well before matches began; during the tournament, sporadic tickets released through FIFA’s official platform and the official Resale system handled remaining supply.
Whatever the phase, one principle held throughout: only official FIFA channels. Unofficial channels not only carried inflated prices but also high risk of counterfeit tickets and fraud. The official sales portal was the FIFA official ticketing platform (English); registering an account and enabling notifications in advance was recommended to avoid missing sudden releases.
A few practical reminders for anyone who traveled during the tournament: downtown Toronto hotel demand and prices ran high during the matches, so booking early paid off; cross-country domestic flights were also worth booking and checking waitlists early, with a backup plan in reserve. If you couldn’t make it to Toronto, watching the broadcast was an option too — Canada’s TV and streaming arrangements are covered in our Canada broadcast viewing guide, best used alongside the schedule.
