Canada at World Cup 2026

Canada at FIFA World Cup 2026 — host and participant guide

Canada makes history in 2026 by co-hosting the FIFA World Cup for the first time alongside the USA and Mexico. With a squad led by Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich) and Jonathan David (Lille), Canada has genuine knockout ambitions on home soil. The team's two previous World Cup appearances — 1986 (group stage, 0 goals scored) and 2022 Qatar (group stage, 2 goals including Davies' historic first) — show dramatically different trajectories. In 2026, the home crowd at BC Place in Vancouver and BMO Field in Toronto will be the loudest backing any Canadian team has ever received. Canada is drawn into Group A alongside Argentina, Morocco and Mexico — an incredibly tough group that will test them from day one. The opening group match at BC Place on June 12 is already one of the most anticipated days in Canadian soccer history. See the full schedule and the venue guide for complete match details.
