With less than a year to go until Toronto hosts six FIFA 2026 World Cup games, major renovations are underway at BMO Field.

On Tuesday, the City of Toronto and Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment revealed details of the first phase of renovations, including new screens and broadcast infrastructure.

Officials showed off four new video boards at the corner of the stadium, self-service technology to reduce lines on the concessions concourse and new hospitality rooms.

The second phase, however, will be the most significant, with plans to add temporary new seating to the stadium.
