Updated and fact-checked: 2026-09-23<\/p>\n

The 2026 World Cup has ended. FIFA\u2019s post-tournament venue record confirms the two stadiums and addresses; Vancouver\u2019s closure record lists seven match days, while the City of Toronto records six matches. The comparison explains the trade-offs used during the tournament; it does not promote a future event or transfer one city\u2019s station, closure or gate to the other.

The Vancouver venue was downtown. The host committee used Main Street\u2013Science World as the primary hub and routed spectators along Pacific Boulevard, linking the stadium, fan festival, transport nodes and nearby accommodation. Gates opened three hours before kick-off, but entry depended on ticket type and accessibility needs. Official Vancouver route<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Toronto Stadium was at Exhibition Place. The City said there was no public parking at the venue or in nearby neighbourhoods. TTC created a temporary Fleet Street hub and changed streetcar service, while Exhibition GO was another main node. Reaching Union did not mean the trip was finished; GO, TTC or a walk still followed.

Both cities promoted transit, walking and early arrival. Ticket, screening and prohibited-item rules inside the venues came from FIFA, while city pages dealt mainly with surrounding transport and public space. Vancouver\u2019s post-event FAQ marks July 7 as its final match, confirming that the road-impact pages are records of a completed event. Vancouver post-event FAQ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A current event in either city requires current venue, accommodation and transport information rather than 2026 extra service.
