BMO Field, Toronto
BMO Field in Toronto is the home of Canadian football and one of the most emotionally significant venues at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It was here that Canada ended a 36 year World Cup absence by qualifying for Qatar 2022, and in 2026 the country plays its World Cup opening match on home soil — making BMO Field the setting for one of the most anticipated occasions in the history of Canadian sport.
Stadium Overview
BMO Field opened in 2007 in Exhibition Place, situated on Toronto's western waterfront just west of downtown. It has a World Cup capacity of 45,736 following a $120 million renovation carried out specifically for the tournament, which expanded the original 30,000 seats. The stadium is the permanent home of MLS side Toronto FC and CFL team Toronto Argonauts, and sits directly adjacent to Exhibition GO Station, one of the efficient transport links in the city. The renovation introduced new seating tiers, upgraded concourse facilities and enhanced hospitality areas throughout.
