Canada’s men’s national soccer team is set to host two international friendly matches against South American rivals in the fall of 2026. The first fixture will take place in Toronto on September 26, while the second will be staged in Montreal on October 3.
The opponents are the men’s national teams of Chile and Peru. Both matches are classified as friendlies, meaning they are non‑competitive games intended to provide preparation and experience for the participating squads.
Toronto will see the opening encounter, marking the first of the two scheduled contests. The city’s venue will host Canada and its first opponent on September 26, offering fans an opportunity to watch the national side compete on home soil.
A week later, Montreal will become the host city for the second friendly. On October 3, the Canadian team will face its remaining South American opponent, completing the pair of fall matches arranged for the year.
These fixtures form part of Canada’s broader schedule for 2026, which includes arranging matches against teams from the South American region. By inviting Chile and Peru, Canada adds two internationally recognized sides to its calendar, expanding the range of competition ahead of upcoming tournaments.
The two-game series reflects a deliberate effort by Canadian Soccer to provide its players with exposure to different playing styles and to engage supporters across multiple Canadian markets during the autumn months.
