Stadium Guide

The Experience

Canada's first soccer-specific stadium, opened in 2007 and significantly renovated in 2015 with an upper deck, canopy roof, and extended field. Situated at Exhibition Place on the Lake Ontario waterfront — one of the best-located stadiums in the country.

Inside

The Stadium

  • Canada's first purpose-built soccer stadium — designed specifically for the sport with strong sightlines from every tier
  • 2015 renovation added the upper deck, bringing capacity to ~30,000, plus a canopy roof over seating areas for weather coverage
  • Hybrid SISGrass playing surface combining natural grass with synthetic fibres — durable and high-quality year-round
  • KLM Tunnel Club at field level sits steps from the team locker rooms — the most immersive premium experience in the building
  • Dedicated supporters section at the south end — one of the most atmospheric supporter atmospheres in MLS
  • FIFA World Cup 2026 host venue — multiple group-stage matches confirmed for Toronto
Day Of

  • Downtown hotels are within walking distance or a short transit ride — practical for most guests staying in the core
  • Exhibition Place grounds are a destination in themselves — arrive early to walk the waterfront before the match

Planning Ahead

BMO Field is hosting multiple World Cup 2026 group-stage matches and a Round of 16 fixture. Premium access is extremely limited and largely pre-allocated. Club seating is often more attainable while still delivering an upgraded experience. Reach out well before fixtures are confirmed.

Multi-Venue

Toronto Add-Ons

Scotiabank Arena (Maple Leafs NHL, Raptors NBA) is a 15-minute walk along the waterfront from BMO Field. A TFC match and a Leafs or Raptors game in the same Toronto trip is one of the easiest multi-sport packages in Canadian sports.

Reach out with your target event and date — we'll confirm availability and build the full Toronto package.

Where to Sit

Seating Map

Two main levels — lower (100s) and upper (200s) — with sideline and endzone options at each. Row selection matters in the lower bowl given the depth of some sections.

Best Sightlines — Lower Bowl

Sidelines — Sections 104–111 / 119–127

The best views of the pitch at BMO Field. Sections closest to midfield are 111–112 and 114–115. The west side has smaller sections (rows A–G) with a perfect height to see across the full pitch regardless of where the play is. The east side has larger sections with rows reaching A–Z and beyond. All accessed from the rear concourse. The go-to recommendation for most groups.

Upper Level Sidelines

Sections 204–211 / 219–227

The west-side upper sections surround the Founders Club and are notably smaller — rows A–G only — with an ideal elevated angle across the full pitch. The east side has substantially larger sections with rows running A–Z and double letters. Strong value for groups who want good sightlines without lower-bowl prices.

Lower Bowl Endzone

Sections 101–103 / 112–118 / 128–130

End sections with rows A through R. Sections 112–118 at the south end are the designated supporters sections for TFC matches — the loudest seats in the stadium. If you want to be in the middle of the standing and singing, this is where to be. If you prefer a seated experience, choose a sideline section.

Upper Level Endzone

Sections 212–218

The most affordable option at BMO Field. Sections are set back from the action but the stadium's steep rake keeps views usable from every row. Strong video board visibility. Best for budget-conscious groups or large parties where cost-per-head is the priority.

Premium Access

Suites & Premium Areas

BMO Field has a strong premium programme for its size — field-level clubs steps from the pitch, east and west side executive suites, loge boxes, and dedicated club lounges across multiple tiers.

The KLM Tunnel Club and BMO Club are the most unique premium experiences at any MLS venue. Suites on the east and west sides are the standard corporate hosting option.

Most Immersive Best Premium
KLM Tunnel Club
Located at field level, steps away from the Toronto FC locker room and an arm's length from both teams as they take the pitch. A unique experience unmatched across MLS — all-inclusive premium food, high-end finishings, private restrooms, and field-side seating. The premier corporate hosting and first-class group experience at BMO Field. For World Cup 2026, this level of access will be extremely limited.
BMO Club
Field-level in the East Stand — steps from the pitch with race car–style seats and all-inclusive Chef's Table food stations. Private restrooms and post-match autograph sessions with select TFC first-team players are included. A strong field-level alternative to the Tunnel Club.
Loge Suite
East Suite level — private box-style seats with a private bar within the suite and outdoor stadium seats directly in front. All-inclusive Chef's Table food stations included. A flexible option for smaller groups who want a private space with field views.
East & West Side Executive Suites
Located on both the east and west sides of the stadium — the standard corporate hosting option at BMO Field. Stadium-style seats in front of the suite with interior lounge space. Up to 16 guests with 12 fixed seats and 4 barstool positions on the east side. The most straightforward group suite experience.
LG West Club & Coinbase Lounge
LG West Club (section 123) offers private concessions and restrooms plus VIP events. The Coinbase Lounge above section 125 provides premium food, dedicated suite hostess, private entrance, parking, and access to all TFC and Argonauts regular season and playoff games plus priority for national and international matches.
Fieldside Seats
Located at the northwest and northeast corners of BMO Field — one of the most unique viewing angles at the stadium. The most comfortable seats in the building with a close-up perspective on the action from the corners of the pitch.
By Request
Party Suites & Groups
Two party suites available for larger groups — share your date and headcount.
Email Details

Matchday

Inside the Stadium

What to know before you arrive.

Playing Surface
SISGrass Hybrid
BMO Field uses SISGrass — a hybrid technology combining natural grass with synthetic fibres. Designed for year-round durability and consistent quality regardless of Toronto's weather. The same surface technology used at elite European stadiums.
Entry
Mobile Tickets · Standard Security
Mobile ticketing is standard at BMO Field. Load your tickets before leaving your hotel. KLM Tunnel Club guests use a dedicated private entrance. For World Cup 2026, expect elevated security protocols and significantly longer entry queues — arrive 90 minutes early minimum.
Weather
Open-Air — Canopy Cover Available
BMO Field is an outdoor stadium with a canopy roof over the seating areas added in the 2015 renovation. The canopy provides rain coverage for most seats but the stadium is open to the elements at the field level. Toronto weather varies significantly across the season — plan for cool evenings in spring and autumn.
Getting Here

Transit, Parking
& Entry

Exhibition Place is well-served by GO Train and TTC — transit is the most practical option for most guests, with the GO Train station right outside the stadium grounds.

GO Train
Exhibition GO Station
Exhibition GO Station is right outside the stadium grounds — the most direct transit connection from Union Station and across the Greater Toronto Area. Service frequency increases on event days. The cleanest arrival and departure option for most guests.
TTC Streetcar
509 / 511 Harbourfront Lines
The 509 and 511 streetcar lines run along the waterfront from Union Station and through the Entertainment District directly to Exhibition Place. Practical for guests staying downtown or in King West — avoids parking entirely.
Parking
On-Site Exhibition Place Lots
Multiple parking lots within Exhibition Place grounds. VIP parking passes are included with some suite and premium packages. Pre-purchase recommended for sellouts and World Cup 2026 fixtures. Post-event exit can be slow — transit is worth considering for the return journey.

Address

BMO Field

170 Princes' Blvd, Toronto, ON M6K 3C3

Scotiabank Arena (Leafs, Raptors) is a 15-minute walk along the waterfront via the Queens Quay promenade — one of the most scenic venue-to-venue walks in Canadian sports.

Where to Stay

Hotels & Neighborhoods

BMO Field is at Exhibition Place on the waterfront — four distinct Toronto zones all within easy transit reach.

Closest

Best City Experience

Downtown / Entertainment District

Toronto's hotel and nightlife core — the Financial District, TIFF Bell Lightbox, and Rogers Centre are all here. Scotiabank Arena is in this zone. A short TTC ride or 20-minute walk from BMO Field. Our most common placement zone for Toronto sports trips.

Waterfront

Harbourfront / Queens Quay

Directly on Lake Ontario with hotel options along the waterfront promenade. A scenic 15-minute walk to BMO Field along Queens Quay. Best for groups who want a relaxed waterfront setting and easy walking access to both BMO Field and Scotiabank Arena.

Most Characterful

Distillery District / King East

Toronto's most atmospheric neighbourhood — Victorian industrial architecture, independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and year-round events. ~25 min from BMO Field by TTC. Best for groups who want neighbourhood character alongside sports access.

Around the Stadium

Scotiabank Arena (Leafs NHL, Raptors NBA) is a 15-minute waterfront walk — the easiest multi-venue combination in Toronto sports. Exhibition Place grounds host year-round events including the Canadian National Exhibition — arrive early to explore the lakefront. King West immediately east is Toronto's best pre- and post-game restaurant and bar corridor.

FAQ

Common Questions

First-time visitor answers, plainly stated.

The GO Train is the most direct option — Exhibition GO Station is right outside the grounds and service runs frequently on event days from Union Station and across the GTA. The 509 and 511 TTC streetcars are the best option if you're staying downtown or in King West. Both avoid parking entirely and are faster than driving post-match.

Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) is the closest at roughly 15 minutes — predominantly served by Porter Airlines with routes across eastern Canada and the US East Coast. Toronto Pearson (YYZ) has far broader international and domestic route coverage and connects to Union Station via the UP Express in ~25 minutes, from where the GO Train runs directly to Exhibition Place.

The Tunnel Club is at field level immediately adjacent to the locker room tunnel — your guests watch the teams walk out onto the pitch within arm's reach. It's a fundamentally different experience from an elevated suite: you're at ground level, part of the entry ritual, and as close to the players as any premium product at any MLS venue. All-inclusive food, private restrooms, and dedicated service are included.

Yes — Scotiabank Arena (Maple Leafs, Raptors) is a 15-minute walk along the Queens Quay waterfront promenade. A TFC match and a Leafs or Raptors game in the same Toronto trip is one of the easiest multi-sport packages in Canadian sports. One hotel, two venues, all walkable or one TTC stop apart.

BMO Field is hosting multiple group-stage matches and a Round of 16 fixture for FIFA World Cup 2026. Premium and suite access is largely pre-allocated through official FIFA channels, sponsors, and long-standing partners. General ticket availability is competitive — contact us early and we'll advise on what's realistically attainable for your group and budget.
