Bosnia and Herzegovina Canada vs Bosnia and Herzegovina: time, TV channel and stadium Group Stage of the FIFA World Cup 2026 · Friday, June 12, 2026 · 15:00 ET · BMO Field, Toronto.
Match preview Canada, co-hosts of the 2026 World Cup, debut against Bosnia and Herzegovina at BMO Field in Toronto with one clear goal: to win a World Cup match for the first time in their history and clear the group stage. After returning to the tournament in 2022 following a 36-year absence, the Canadians face their second straight appearance, now at home and in front of their own fans, in a Group B completed by Switzerland and Qatar.
Bosnia and Herzegovina return to a World Cup after their only previous experience at Brazil 2014, where they impressed despite falling in the group stage. With a more mature generation, the Bosnians aim to make the leap into the knockout round. Facing the hosts on opening day is a stern test, but also a golden chance to start with a statement.
