BMO Field

Away fans who visit BMO Field in Toronto, Canada, usually occupy Section 208 in the upper east stand. Like most MLS stadiums, the away section can accommodate between 200 and 2,500.

For local derbies, away fans sometimes use sections 203, 204, 126 and 127, so you would expect a bigger number of fans on the away end.

Also, note that away fans are often directed to use Gates 1 and 2 as they are the closest to the away end.

BMO Field underwent a series of major renovations from 2014 to 2016, with an upper deck added to the east grandstand, a roof over the seating areas and a lengthened field all part of the upgrade.

2026 FIFA World Cup stadium

Most recently, the renovation that began in 2024 is still ongoing in readiness for the 2026  FIFA World Cup. Phase One of the renovation will be done in August 2025, with Phase Two to be completed in December 2025 or March 2026.

The project, which is estimated to cost $146 million, is expected to increase the capacity of BMO Field by an additional 17,000 temporary seats ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Additional installations such as new LED videoboards, a centre-field lounger, and fans’ patio will further upgrade the stadium’s outlook.

BMO Field will host some six matches in the group stages of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
