Toronto Stadium Upgrades Revealed Ahead of 2026 FIFA World Cup
- On Tuesday, officials confirmed that all major upgrades to Toronto Stadium, formerly known as BMO Field, are complete ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, increasing total capacity to 45,000.
- Funding for the $157.9 million project came from Toronto city council and Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment , allowing the venue to meet FIFA requirements by adding 17,000 temporary seats.
- Enhancements feature a FIFA-regulation pitch composed of 95 percent natural grass and four corner LED boards, while Chief Operating Officer Nick Eaves assured, "The stands will be perfectly safe."
- Beginning June 12, the city will host six matches, with officials planning a test run of the new infrastructure on May 9 during a sold-out match between Inter Miami and Toronto FC.
- While temporary seating will be removed after the tournament, permanent infrastructure improvements including broadcast systems and hospitality spaces will remain to benefit Toronto residents and future events.
