BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, Canada, will host seven matches during the 2026 World Cup, including a game between Canada and Qatar. Unlike many other venues, BC Place does not need to change its name because it is a publicly owned facility without commercial naming rights. FIFA regulations normally require renaming for stadiums with corporate sponsors to avoid advertising conflicts, but BC Place is exempt. Fans attending matches are advised to use the Main Street-Science World Station for access due to road closures and limited entrances.
- •BC Place Stadium has a capacity of 54,500.
- •Only one other stadium, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, is allowed to keep its sponsor logo.
- •Road closures will limit stadium access to one entrance.
- •Fans are recommended to arrive early for the event.
