The Canadian men’s national team will play FIFA World Cup matches on home soil for the first time in 2026, when the nation hosts the tournament alongside the United States and Mexico.

Headlined by European stars Alphonso Davies of Bayern Munich and Juventus’ Jonathan David, Canada will hope to secure its first results at the men’s World Cup as well, having lost all six previous games in their two previous tournaments of Mexico 1986 and Qatar 2022.

Outside of hosting for the first time, the 2026 World Cup also marks Canada’s first appearance in back-to-back tournaments, and manager Jesse Marsch will hope to lead the team to an extended run, even as they take on some challenging opponents.

Here’s everything you need to know about Canada’s path through the group stage and potential knockout rounds.

How Canada Qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup

Canada did not have to participate in Concacaf World Cup qualifiers to punch a ticket to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Instead, they secured automatic qualification as co-hosts alongside the United States and Mexico, and therefore were placed in Pot 1, avoiding the world's top-ranked teams in the group stage.

Canada could play on home soil up to the round of 16, should everything go to plan. BC Place will host a round of 32 and round of 16 match, while BMO Field will be the stage for a non-Canadian round of 32 clash.
