Every match that doesn’t feature Canada is on the US side of the border, so following the whole group means crossing into a second country. Our stadiums guide covers each venue, while the Canada fan guide and US fan guide cover the host cities.
Following the Group
Canada’s three games split between Toronto and Vancouver — opposite coasts, a five-hour flight apart — so home fans following Canada cross the country mid-group.
For the Canadian matches, sort your entry early and book beds near each ground: Toronto hotels and Vancouver stays go fast, and you may need a Canadian eTA or visitor visa.
The three US matches may mean separate US entry requirements — such as an ESTA or a visa — plus US hotels; most single-country fans skip them.
Watching from home? Kick-offs are local North American afternoons, which fall in the small hours across much of the world — check your local time and channel.
