Guide

Fan storyline

As one of the three co-hosts of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Canada qualified automatically for the tournament alongside the United States and Mexico and did not need to take part in the CONCACAF qualifying process. The 2026 edition marks Canada’s third World Cup appearance, following previous participations in 1986 and 2022. Playing on home soil, Canada entered the tournament with high expectations and the hope of making history by reaching the knockout stage for the first time. They are competing in Group B alongside Bosnia and Herzegovina, Qatar and Switzerland, and opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina. With home support and a more experienced squad than in past tournaments, Canada will be aiming to turn that momentum into a historic breakthrough.
