Where to Watch the World Cup in Toronto in 2026 HostsThere will be three host countries for the 2026 World Cup, and all three host countries get an automatic bid to the tournament. All three teams qualified for the 2022 World Cup and all three teams have been competitive in international matches for the past number of years. There are no push-overs in the hosting duties this year.Canada (2022) – This is going to be fun. The list of venues to see Canada play in the 2026 World Cup will be long. I’m hoping the city will organize some huge public screenings like there are for Maple Leaf and Raptor playoff runs, as this was sorely missing in 2022. Keep in touch, this section should be big. United States (2006, 2010, 2014) – This will be interesting. Mexico (2006, 2014) – Mexico just won the CONCACAF Nations League, besting Panama in the final, with Canada defeating the United States for the Bronze. There are a lot of supporters in Toronto, and there should be a great turnout in 2026. 2026 Qualified Teams Japan (2006) – The first of the 45 teams to qualify for the 2026 World Cup is Japan. While I haven’t photographed Japanese fans in Toronto since 2006, the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre organized an amazing viewing event in 2022. I was super excited about attending, but got COVID and couldn’t make it. I have a strong feeling there were be more great viewing parties planned for 2026 and will let you know when there are posted as I plan on being there. New Zealand (2010) – New Zealand hasn’t been the World Cup since 2010 and it’s pretty exciting that they will be returning. Exciting especially because there is a very clear and distinct sport for New Zealand fans in Toronto: Hemingway’s Restaurant in Yorkville. It’s a really great venue, especially in the summer, the kind of venue you could watch any and every match no matter who you are cheering for. Iran (2006, 2014, 2018) – Toronto is home to a huge number of Iranian fans and the viewing parties are always boisterous, standing room only affairs. I love hanging out with the Iranian fans. Typically the viewing parties have been along the Yonge corridor in North York, but specifics won’t be available until much closer to the actual tournament. Argentina (2006, 2014, 2022) – The 2022 World Cup Champions are looking good going into the 2026 World Cup and the fans will be eager to cheer on their squad again. Lots of good options for Argentina fans across the city, check out previous venues to get a general sense and when we get confirmation closer to the tournament, we will let you know. Interactive Map:Below is the map that I’ve made based on my experience watching and photographing fans cheering for 54 different countries in Toronto during the 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018 World Cup. The red points are from the 2006 World Cup when I photographed fans from all 32 teams in that year’s tournament. The green points are for 2010 teams I photographed, the yellow points are 2014, and the blue points are the 2018 teams.
