BMO Field in downtown Toronto is receiving a $150-million renovation to prepare for the men's FIFA World Cup in 2026. The city of Toronto will contribute $123 million while Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) will provide $23 million. The upgrade will increase the stadium's capacity from 31,000 to 45,000 with temporary seating and includes new videoboards, improved locker rooms, and enhanced infrastructure. This project aims to create a lasting legacy of world-class sports facilities that benefit the community long after the tournament concludes.
"The transformation of BMO Field exemplifies the City's commitment to providing world-class facilities for FIFA World Cup 26 with a view to enriching the sports and recreation opportunities for Torontonians long after the tournament ends."
"Permanent changes include four new videoboards as well as upgrades to locker rooms, lighting, audio, broadcast infrastructure and stadium Wi-Fi."
