In less than a month, visitors from around the world will flock to Toronto for the FIFA World Cup, a monumental moment that will see the first FIFA World Cup men’s match ever played on Canadian soil. Even if you didn’t get a ticket to see one of the matches, there will be no shortage of World Cup celebrations in the city. Of course, the FIFA Fan Festival Toronto is one you don’t want to miss. It will be the main public celebration site during the tournament, with activations, food and drink vendors, and, of course, live performances. Curious to know who will be performing in Toronto at the fan fest? We got you covered!
FIFA Fan Festival Toronto will take over Fort York National Historic Site and The Bentway for 22 days from Thursday, June 11, to Sunday, July 19, 2026.
The event will air live match broadcasts, keep you fed and quenched, and definitely entertain you. General admission is free, but you must get tickets online to reserve your spot.
And trust us, they go quickly. The next batch of free general admission tickets will be available on Friday, May 15, at 10 a.m. EST.
