Where to watch in Toronto
As one of the tournament’s host cities, Toronto has embraced World Cup fever in a major way. One of the city’s most sought-after viewing destinations is Harriet’s Rooftop, located atop 1 Hotel Toronto. A prime location right in the heart of the city, the venue has transformed into a soccer headquarters throughout the tournament, featuring six jumbo screens, food and drink specials, and an energetic match-day atmosphere. Whether you’re there with a group or hoping to catch the action with other fans, the views are epic and the right backdrop to a global tournament.

When the final whistle blows, live DJs and rooftop celebrations keep the party going long into the evening. The team at Gent’s Post had an opportunity to catch a Brazil game and let’s just say the food, energy and ambiance delivered the same quality as Vinicius Jr’s headers.
Fans looking for an even larger experience can head to the FIFA Fan Festival Toronto, where thousands of supporters gather to watch matches on giant screens while enjoying live entertainment, cultural programming, and food vendors representing cuisines from around the world.
Another great option is Toronto’s RendezViews where fans can partake in all the action while sipping on some Casamigos. As part of its House of Friends platform, Casamigos will activate throughout the tournament and a great way to take in the big game.

Where to watch in Montreal
Montreal’s passion for soccer is on full display this summer. Time Out Market Montréal has become one of downtown’s premier destinations for World Cup viewing, pairing big-screen broadcasts with an impressive lineup of food vendors, cocktails, and a stadium-like atmosphere.
For those seeking a more traditional sports-bar environment, La Cage remains a reliable choice. With multiple downtown locations, large screens, and a dedicated fan base, it has become one of the city’s go-to spots for major international matches.
Where to watch in Vancouver
On the West Coast, Vancouver fans have plenty of options to catch every minute of the action. Freehouse Collective venues have emerged as some of the city’s biggest World Cup hubs, transforming select locations into dedicated fan zones complete with full match broadcasts, themed menus, giveaways, and an atmosphere designed to replicate the energy of being inside the stadium itself.

With Vancouver set to host several tournament matches, local supporters have embraced the occasion, creating one of the most vibrant soccer communities in the country.
Create the ultimate home watch party
Not every great World Cup experience requires a ticket or reservation. Hosting a watch party at home can be just as memorable with the right game-day lineup. Start with crowd-pleasing snacks like Lay’s chips, an essential for sharing throughout the match. For Caesar lovers, Absolut Vodka Tabasco Flavour provides a spicy twist on one of Canada’s favourite cocktails. Peroni Nastro Azzurro offers a classic Italian beer option, while Michelob ULTRA Zero delivers a refreshing alcohol-free alternative for those looking to stay sharp through multiple matches.
No watch party is complete without food, and Skip makes it easy to order everything from wings and pizza to late-game snacks without missing a minute of action. Meanwhile, Nespresso can help keep energy levels high during early kickoffs, late-night matches, and marathon weekends filled with soccer.
