Looking to soak up FIFA World Cup 26™ energy without a stadium ticket? Toronto’s FIFA Fan Festival™ is set to be one giant outdoor celebration, bringing together live match broadcasts, entertainment, global flavours and fans from around the world in one lively gathering place.
Set at Fort York and The Bentway, the official festival runs from 11 June to 19 July 2026 and invites visitors of all ages to be part of the action.
Toronto’s big watch party
This is not just a screen in a park. FIFA Fan Festival™ Toronto is designed as a full fan experience, where communities come together to share the highs, heartbreaks and halftime excitement of the beautiful game.
Visitors can watch select matches live on big screens, enjoy entertainment and interactive experiences, and explore more than 30 food vendors serving flavours from around the world. With free general admission tickets available online in advance, it is an easy add‑on for travellers planning time in Toronto during the tournament.
A setting with serious atmosphere
The location adds to the magic. Fort York brings historic character and open space, while The Bentway adds urban energy in one of Toronto’s most distinctive public spaces.
Together, they create a setting that feels made for big moments, from dramatic goals to crowd‑wide singalongs. Toronto is also leaning into its host city theme, “The World in a City,” which makes this festival a natural reflection of the cultures, neighbourhoods and soccer passion that define the city.
