Toronto is hosting six FIFA World Cup 2026 matches at BMO Field (officially Toronto Stadium during the tournament) between June 12 and July 2 — including Canada’s historic first men’s World Cup match on home soil. Here’s where to stay for easy stadium access, whether you want luxury, mid-range comfort, or budget-friendly options.
BMO Field and the Best Areas to Stay
BMO Field sits inside Exhibition Place on Toronto’s waterfront, with a tournament capacity of 45,736 after temporary expansion. Three neighborhoods give you the best access.
Liberty Village
A 10- to 15-minute walk from BMO Field via the pedestrian tunnel at Exhibition GO Station. Trendy breweries, and brunch spots make this ideal for pre- and post-match socializing.
King West and the Entertainment District
Staying near Union Station puts you on a direct GO Train or TTC streetcar line to Exhibition Place — about 10 to 15 minutes door to door. This is where you’ll find the highest concentration of hotels across all price ranges.
Queen West and Parkdale
A 15-minute walk or a five-minute streetcar ride to the stadium. You’ll be steps from cafes, independent shops, and Trinity Bellwoods Park — one of the city’s best hangout spots in summer.
Luxury Hotels Near BMO Field
If budget isn’t a constraint, these properties deliver premium matchday experiences — all verified on Wego.

Budget-Friendly Stays and Alternatives
Toronto hotel prices are expected to jump roughly 78 percent during the World Cup — the lowest increase among all host cities, but still significant. Here are some ways to keep costs down.
Holiday Inn Toronto Downtown Centre
Steps from College subway station and a short ride to Union Station. A reliable mid-budget option in a central location.
Holiday Inn Toronto International Airport
If you’re arriving at Toronto Pearson Airport (YYZ) and want to save on downtown prices, airport hotels offer significantly lower rates. The UP Express train gets you to Union Station in 25 minutes.
University Residences
The University of Toronto’s New College Residence is offering rooms at C$199 per night (single) and C$299 per night (double) from June 16 to July 3 — among the most affordable options in the city during the tournament. Book directly through the U of T residence portal.
North York
Hotels in North York typically run cheaper than downtown, and the subway connects you to Union Station in about 30 minutes.
Getting to the Stadium and Practical Tips
BMO Field is well served by transit, so staying downtown and commuting in is a perfectly viable strategy.
- GO Train from Union Station to Exhibition GO takes under five minutes
- TTC streetcar (routes 509 and 511) runs along the waterfront to Exhibition Loop
- Walking from Liberty Village takes 10 to 15 minutes via the pedestrian tunnel
- Driving is not recommended — parking near Exhibition Place is extremely limited on matchdays
The FIFA Fan Festival
The FIFA Fan Festival in Toronto runs at Fort York National Historic Site and The Bentway from June 11 to July 19 — free general admission (advance registration required), live match screenings on a nearly 40-foot screen, food vendors, and live music. Hotels near Fort York (in the King West or Bathurst corridor) put you within walking distance of both the Fan Festival and the stadium.
