2026 FIFA World Cup

BC Place will host seven matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup as one of two Canadian venues alongside BMO Field in Toronto. Among them are five group stage matches, including two home games for the Canada national team on June 18 and 24, and two knockout stage matches: one in the round of 32 and another in the round of 16. Should Canada win group B they will play both the round of 32 and round of 16 matches at BC Place. The provincial government estimates that it will cost $240–260 million to stage, plan, and host the matches at BC Place.
