BMO Field
BMO Field in Toronto, Ontario, is Canada's national soccer stadium and the home of Toronto FC (MLS) and the Canadian national teams. Located on the shores of Lake Ontario at Exhibition Place, the stadium offers spectacular waterfront views and a downtown location that puts fans in the heart of North America's fourth-largest city. For World Cup 2026, BMO Field will host multiple matches, marking Canada's debut as a World Cup host nation. Toronto's status as the most multicultural city in the world — over 50% of residents were born outside Canada — means every single World Cup nation will have a passionate local fan base here.
Stadium History
Opened in 2007 as a soccer-specific stadium, BMO Field has been expanded multiple times to meet growing demand. Toronto FC's 2017 treble-winning season (MLS Cup, Supporters' Shield, Canadian Championship) made history. The stadium hosted the 2010 MLS Cup, multiple Canadian Championship finals, and the 2015 Pan American Games. The 2026 World Cup will be the venue's crowning achievement, introducing global audiences to Canadian soccer culture.

“The stadium sits on the site of the former Exhibition Stadium, which hosted the first-ever Toronto FC match and was demolished to make way for BMO Field. During winter, parts of the stadium are converted into an outdoor ice rink. The venue's food program includes poutine — a Canadian delicacy of fries, cheese curds, and gravy — that has become a fan favorite.”
