World Cup means Toronto Argonauts will call Mosaic Stadium ‘home’ for 1 game in 2026

As Toronto prepares to welcome the 2026 FIFA World Cup to BMO Field, the usual home of the Toronto Argonauts – the CFL club will be playing a series of “home” games across the country – including one at Mosaic Stadium.

Although the CFL schedule for next season has not yet been released – the Argonauts announced Friday they’ll play technical home games in Regina, Hamilton and Winnipeg in the first half of the 2026 season.

“These regular season ‘home’ games will be spread across the team’s temporary homes until the FIFA World Cup concludes and BMO Field is retrofitted back to CFL standards,” a press release from the Argos said.

The back half of the season will be weighted back to having more games in Toronto to help balance out the unusual circumstances.

The CFL’s full 2026 schedule will be released over the offseason.

“We are grateful for the support of the Canadian Football League and all Argos fans as the schedule is adjusted to accommodate the tournament and know that this exciting moment will be one that we can all be very proud of,” Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Vice President Chris Shewfelt said in a release.

It’s anticipated the B.C. Lions will need to make similar adjustments next season, with Vancouver’s B.C. Place also slated to host World Cup games.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will take place in Canada, the United States and Mexico from June 11 to July 26, 2026 with BMO Field hosting six games from June 12 to July 2.

Further ticketing information will be released at a later date.

The Argos announcement comes the same day the Riders confirmed a preseason game will be played in Saskatoon next year.
