JUMP TO A SECTION
First-Ever Home World Cup
Canada qualified for their second ever World Cup in 2022 after a 36-year absence, and in 2026 they return as co-hosts. Playing at home in front of a nation that has fallen in love with football is the biggest opportunity in Canadian football history.
At the 2026 World Cup, Canada are placed in Group B alongside Bosnia and Herzegovina, Qatar, Switzerland. The top 2 teams from every group advance to the Round of 32, and the 8 best third-placed teams also go through. Every match matters from minute one.
With 2 World Cup appearances in their history and a best finish of Group stage, Canada bring experience to a tournament that is larger and more competitive than ever before.
Group B Draw
All 4 teams in Canada's group. Top 2 advance automatically, plus the 8 best third-placed teams across all 12 groups.
