History of BMO Field

BMO Field opened in 2007, built on the site of the Old Exhibition Stadium as an improvement for the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup and to serve as the home ground of Toronto FC in Major League Soccer. In 2016, the Toronto Argonauts moved to the stadium after it was configured to host both soccer and Canadian football matches.

The venue initially had a capacity of just over 20,000 but has undergone several renovations throughout its short history. It now seats around 30,000, with ongoing upgrades aimed at expanding capacity to 45,000 for the 2026 World Cup.

In addition to hosting Toronto FC home games, BMO Field has staged MLS Cup finals in 2010, 2016 and 2017.

In 2026, the stadium will host five group stage matches, including Canada’s opening game, as well as a Round of 16 clash.
