FIFA 2026 at BMO Field — quick facts
BMO Field is one of Canada’s World Cup host stadiums for FIFA 2026, and match days will bring heavy traffic, crowds and extra security around the stadium.

From Toronto Pearson — fastest routes and recommended transport options
If you’re flying into Toronto Pearson (YYZ), you’ve got three practical ways to get to BMO Field:
UP Express + local transit — Take UP Express to Union Station, then a short subway or streetcar ride to King/St. Andrew or Queen’s Quay depending on where you’re staying. This is usually the fastest public-transit-only route if you’re luggage-light and travel times align.
GO Transit or shuttle services — For suburban arrivals, GO trains or match-day shuttles may run special services; check schedules in advance and allow extra time for transfers.
Taxi / rideshare — Readily available at Pearson but surge pricing and long queues are common on match days.
Pre-booked limo or SUV (recommended) — A door-to-door transfer from the airport to your hotel or directly to BMO Field removes uncertainty. Ride Black’s fleet (see our Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Suburban pages) offers roomy luggage space, professionally licensed chauffeurs and flight monitoring so your driver knows your arrival time.

Practical tip: if your flight lands within four hours of kickoff, favor private transfers. Public transit and taxis become congested close to match time.
Downtown arrivals — best pickup/drop-off zones and timing
Downtown Toronto has limited curb space around busy event venues. For a smooth drop-off/pick-up near BMO Field:
Allow extra time for traffic — Even short distances can take much longer on match days. Aim to arrive at your drop-off point at least 60–90 minutes before kickoff when possible.
Designated ride-share / limo zones — Use official drop-off and pick-up zones rather than stopping in traffic lanes. Your chauffeur will know the best legal curb locations and staging areas; confirm these details when you book.
Hotel staging — If you’re staying downtown, consider having your chauffeur pick you up at the hotel’s private entrance after the match rather than trying to meet by the stadium curbside—this is faster and safer for groups with children or luggage.
Communicate ETA — Use the contact details on our Contact page if you need to change pickup times. We monitor match schedules and traffic to optimize pickups.
Parking at/near BMO Field — what to expect on match days
Parking near BMO Field will be in high demand during FIFA 2026. A few points to keep in mind:
Official lots sell out fast — If you decide to drive, pre-purchase an official lot pass where possible. Expect longer walking times from remote lots.
Private lots and street parking — May exist but can have limited availability and variable pricing; read signage carefully to avoid fines.
Traffic after the match — Exiting by car can easily double your travel time. Many fans opt to leave a bit later or meet at a nearby restaurant or fan zone to let traffic ease.
Alternative: skip parking entirely — A pre-booked Ride Black transfer drops you close to the stadium and waits or returns at a scheduled pickup time, removing the parking headache. See our fleet options for group vehicles and party buses here:
