Here’s the latest on BMO Stadium based on the most recent public reports available.
Upgrades for FIFA World Cup 2026: Toronto’s BMO Field is undergoing a multi-year transformation to host FIFA World Cup 26™, with a significant investment from the City of Toronto and MLSE. The project aims to upgrade infrastructure, technology, and fan experience, including new lounges, suites, and a rooftop patio after the tournament. These renovations are planned in two phases, targeting completion by early 2026 to be ready for World Cup events.[2][3][4]
Construction details and access during renovation: Phase 1 ran through 2025 with ongoing work in the north stands, while Phase 2 was scheduled for late 2025 to early 2026. During construction, BMO Field is expected to remain operational for other events, with some entry adjustments and temporary videoboards in place to accommodate ongoing games in 2025.[3][2]
Scope and purpose: The upgrades include a new centre-field lounge on the west side, additional North Suites, and a rooftop patio with seating for around 1,000 after World Cup 26™, all aimed at boosting the stadium’s appeal and long-term legacy beyond the 2026 tournament. The work is part of Toronto’s broader strategy to position BMO Field as a premier international venue.[4][2][3]
