Moving Around Toronto During the FIFA World Cup 2026™

Toronto will host six FIFA World Cup 26™ matches between June 12 to July 2 and host FIFA Fan Festival™ on select days through July 19. View match schedule.

Toronto is ready to deliver a safe, efficient and world‑class experience with a transit-first approach to ease movement around the city.

Road closures and restrictions will be in effect for the duration of the tournament. Public transit, walking, and cycling are the fastest and most reliable options for arriving at a FIFA match or FIFA Fan Festival™ in Toronto.

What to Expect

The tournament will bring a festive atmosphere to the city, with increased foot traffic, visitors, and activity in areas near the venues, especially on the six match and FIFA Fan Festival™ days. Large crowds are expected around Toronto Stadium (at Exhibition Place), Fort York and the Bentway. Expect more people on sidewalks, on transit and in local businesses.

The City of Toronto is prepared to keep people moving smoothly and safely. A coordinated team, including TTC, GO Transit, police and emergency service partners, will manage transportation and crowd movement in real time.

• Using live monitoring of traffic, transit and crowd flow, the City will activate rapid responses to issues and actively communicate travel updates throughout the tournament.
• Real-time information on transit services, road closures, and event impacts will be shared through City channels, TTC and Metrolinx updates and travel signage.
• Walking and cycling are encouraged, with added supports in place such as bike parking, Toronto Bike Share staffed bike valets, and clearly marked walking routes, to make active travel easier and more convenient.
• There is no general parking at event sites during the World Cup including no on‑site parking at Toronto Stadium or the Fan Festival. Accessible parking, for match ticket holders only, must be booked in advance.

Plan extra time for travel—public transit is the best way to get around. TTC and GO Transit will run more frequent service, especially on match days.

Additional details will be shared in the coming weeks.

Road Closures

There will be road closures and traffic restrictions near event areas including Exhibition Place, Liberty Village and Fort York to support pedestrian safety and event operations.

• Planned and temporary road closures and restrictions will be in place on key streets such as Strachan Avenue, Dufferin Street, Fleet Street, parts of Lake Shore Boulevard, and within Liberty Village.
• Street closures are for both automobiles, as well as bicycles. Cyclists must dismount and walk, a normal practice for all major event road closures where there are many pedestrians.
• Local access will be preserved for residents and businesses with clear signage and vehicle identification.
• Portable, variable message signs, traffic agents and route diversions will support real-time traffic flow.
