Toronto is ready. Here’s how to make the most of it.
For the first time in history, Canada is hosting a FIFA World Cup. Toronto is welcoming six matches at Toronto Stadium (BMO Field) and a free FIFA Fan Festival running across 22 days at Fort York and The Bentway, June 11 to July 19.

Neighbourhoods to base yourself in
Liberty Village, 0.8km from the stadium
Toronto’s tech and creative hub, packed with restaurants, cafés, breweries, and a young professional crowd. Walkable to the stadium and fan festival. The neighbourhood that will feel the World Cup most intensely.
King West / Entertainment District, 1.2km
Premium downtown Toronto with the highest concentration of hotel options in the city. King streetcar connects you east-west across downtown. Strong restaurant and nightlife scene.
Waterfront / Harbourfront, 1.5km
Toronto’s lakefront, the Martin Goodman Trail runs 56km along the water. The One Love Food & Arts Market at Canoe Landing Park runs free entry from June 6 to August 22, Caribbean and Latin food vendors, live music along the pedestrian corridor from Union Station to the fan zone.
Distillery District / St. Lawrence Market, 3km east
Heritage cobblestone neighbourhood, galleries, cafés, and the St. Lawrence Market. Quieter, atmospheric, excellent for an off-match-day afternoon.
Kensington Market / Little Portugal, 2.5km
One of Toronto’s most eclectic neighbourhoods. Little Portugal along Dundas Street West will be among the most vocal in the city during the tournament. Authentic character that no tourist guide can fully capture.

Practical tips
Transit is the right answer: The TTC has accelerated infrastructure upgrades, removing speed restrictions on Line 1, installing RapidTO priority lanes on Dufferin and Bathurst, and creating a new Fleet Street transit hub. Service on 509, 511, and 504 King runs every 5 minutes throughout tournament days.
No US visa required: Fans from visa-exempt countries need only a Canadian eTA (CAD $7 at canada.ca). Fans from countries requiring a Canadian visa should apply through IRCC Canada.
Toronto’s FIFA theme is ‘The World in a City’, and it’s genuinely apt. The city’s neighbourhoods reflect the countries playing in this tournament more vividly than almost any other host city. Explore beyond the fan zone.
