Canada's three Group B matches at the 2026 World Cup are complete: a 1\u20131 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto on June 12, a 6\u20130 win over Qatar in Vancouver on June 18, and a 1\u20132 defeat by Switzerland there on June 24. That is the full record of one win, one draw and one defeat. The first-round snapshot in which all four teams had one point cannot describe the finished group stage. Dates here are local match dates. FIFA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

FIFA's original records name the opening venue Toronto Stadium and the next two BC Place Vancouver. Canada Soccer uses names including BMO Field and BC Place, with matching scores. For June 24, FIFA lists Switzerland first: a home score of two and away score of one translates to Canada's 1\u20132 defeat. Changing the order of team names must not reverse the result. FIFA<\/a>. Canada Soccer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Canada Soccer also retains the later results: a 1\u20130 win over South Africa at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on June 28, then a 0\u20133 defeat by Morocco at NRG Stadium in Houston on July 4. FIFA identifies those stages as the Round of 32 and Round of 16 respectively. This completed knockout run is different from a qualification prediction made during the group stage; the next match can no longer be presented as undecided. FIFA<\/a>. Canada Soccer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Broadcast announcements answer a different question. Bell Media's May 25 announcement of TSN's team said all 104 matches were available on TSN and RDS, with coverage also on CTV and streaming through Crave's live CTV channel. It did not establish that every match on every platform was free, that one TSN+ plan covered everything, or that access worked in every country. A broadcast-team list also cannot stand in for a specific TSN tactical analysis. Bell Media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bell Media's July 21 post-tournament release cited preliminary Numeris data and reported average audiences of 5.3 million for Canada\u2013Qatar and 4.1 million for Canada\u2013Switzerland. Average audiences and cumulative match reach are different measures. These are broadcaster-reported viewing figures, not stadium attendance, a person-by-person list of unique viewers or evidence that replays remain available. Pre-tournament distribution plans and post-tournament audience results should be recorded separately. Bell Media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unsupported goalscorer names, goal minutes, injury claims and attributed tactical remarks from the earlier article are not retained. Finding highlights or replays today requires the platform's current regional, account and content conditions; a summer 2026 live-broadcast announcement does not guarantee present viewing or subscription access.
