The Canadian men's national soccer team has officially qualified for the 2026 FIFA men's World Cup. Soccer's international governing body confirmed that Canada — along with the U.S.
and Mexico — have secured automatic berths as co-hosts of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The marquee event — set to begin on June 3, 2026 and conclude on July 8, 2026 — will have 16 cities across the three countries host games, which includes Toronto and Vancouver.
A new expanded format will debut at the 2026 World Cup, with the number of teams participating increasing from 32 to 48. The event will also be the first that features three nations as co-hosts.
Both Japan and South Korea claimed automatic berths as co-hosts in 2002 and was the only event in men's history that featured matches taking place in more than one country.
