Know Before You Go

Toronto Stadium is the official FIFA World Cup 2026 name for BMO Field. FIFA strips commercial sponsor branding from host venues for the duration of the tournament, so on match tickets, broadcast graphics and the official fixture list the venue appears as Toronto Stadium. Locals will keep calling it BMO Field the rest of the year.

BMO Field in Toronto is Canada's premier soccer-specific stadium, sitting on the shores of Lake Ontario at Exhibition Place. Home to Toronto FC and the Canadian national team, it is being expanded to 45,000+ seats for the World Cup. Its lakeside setting provides stunning views and cool lake breezes that temper summer heat.
