    2026 World Cup games at BMO Field<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    BMO Field will host six games at the 2026 World Cup, including Canada’s opening Group B match on 12th June against Bosnia-Herzegovina. Five of the games will be in the group stage, with Group L seeing two matches at BMO Field — though neither involves England. As well as a game in Group E — Germany vs Ivory Coast — BMO Field will also host one of the final matches in Group I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The stadium will host just one knockout stage match, the round-of-32 tie between the runners-up of Group K and Group L on 3rd July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      BMO Field: History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      BMO Field is the smallest stadium at the 2026 World Cup, though it will get an extension in time for the tournament — taking its attendance up to 45,736. The stadium is home to Toronto FC, who play in Major League Soccer, and has hosted a number of football tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The stadium has hosted games at the Concacaf Gold Cup and U-20 World Cups for both men’s and women’s games. BMO Field is also home to the Canadian Football team the Toronto Argonauts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      BMO Field hasn’t hosted much outside of sport, with just one concert to date — Genesis in 2007 shortly after the stadium opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
