Canada

Canada fans watch the 2026 World Cup from Toronto (EDT, UTC-4) and Vancouver (PDT, UTC-7). Their Group B matches kick off between 12:00 and 18:00 PT and 15:00 and 18:00 ET, covering afternoon and early evening across the country’s domestic timezones.

What the schedule means for Canadian fans

Canada is a co-host nation, meaning Group B matches take place inside Canadian borders. BMO Field in Toronto and BC Place in Vancouver both host group games, giving Canadian fans a unique situation: no timezone conversion needed at all for home fixtures.

Group B local kickoff times across Canada

• June 12: vs Bosnia at Toronto (BMO Field). 15:00 ET / 12:00 PT
• June 18: vs Switzerland at Vancouver (BC Place). 15:00 PT / 18:00 ET
• June 24: vs Qatar at Vancouver (BC Place). 12:00 PT / 15:00 ET

Playing at home in every sense

Canada’s group stage takes place entirely within the country, split between its two biggest football cities. Toronto fans can attend the opener against Bosnia at BMO Field in the afternoon. Vancouver fans host two matches at BC Place. For fans watching from Montreal, Calgary, or Halifax, the East Coast matches land at 15:00, and the West Coast matches at either 15:00 or 18:00 depending on where they are in the country.

Canadians watching from the Mountain timezone (MDT, UTC-6) see the Vancouver matches at 14:00, and the Toronto match at 14:00. Atlantic time fans in Halifax watch the Toronto game at 16:00.

No other team at this tournament has group stage matches in their own country. Canada last appeared at a World Cup in 1986, then again in Qatar 2022. Playing at home before a national audience in 2026 is a generational moment for Canadian football.
