Your Fashion-Forward Guide to the World Cup in Canada

The World Cup 2026 is bringing the heat in June—and Canada is making history as a host country. What better way to enjoy the games than to look the part of a soccer star in the city’s hottest watch spots? Consider this your cheat sheet of the most stylish players, exclusive launches and the coolest places to sip and watch.

Where To Watch

Host cities Toronto and Vancouver are brimming with interactive hot spots—if you know where to look. Good news is, we already have.

Four Seasons Hotel Toronto

From June 11 to July 19, the hotel’s splurge-worthy spa is offering The Athlete’s Retreat—a custom restorative wellness journey inspired by pro athletic recovery.

Ace Hotel

Aside from holding dedicated viewing parties in its vibe-y Interspace lounge, this Garment District gem will host a pop-up with vintage jersey retailer Saturdays Football from June 11 to 14.

The Drake Hotel

When you check in during FIFA, expect a daily Uber credit to get around the city’s watch parties and a limited-edition soccer T-shirt from local screen-printing studio WQW.

Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

Soccer with a side of Champagne? Say less. The luxury hotel will host a Moët & Chandon lobby pop-up where guests can taste bubbly by the glass in between games.

Hastings Park

Vancouver’s largest parks will turn into a free outdoor party for FIFA fans. Expect public match screenings, local food vendors and live entertainment.

1 Hotel Toronto

Tournament-timed stays will be discounted, while a pop-up with Offside Boys will offer one-of-a-kind pieces made from reworked jerseys.

Canada Soccer House

At this free open-air screening—held at both the Harbourfront Centre in Toronto and The Shipyards in North Vancouver—guests can expect athlete appearances, pop-up activations and the energy of thousands of other excited fans.

Bisha

Don’t miss the watch parties at this boutique hotel’s scene-y Mister C lobby bar.

The Beautiful Tour With Seair Seaplanes

Vancouver’s seaplane tours provide a bird’s-eye view of must-see city landmarks. This summer, the planes will fly above BC Place and city-wide FIFA fan gatherings.

What to Wear

Merch doesn’t have to mean key chains and cookie-cutter caps. Instead, pepper your rotation with these in-the-know releases.

Fossil’s Flag Watches

Available in nine team colours—including Canada’s white and red—Fossil’s flag-inspired watches take patriotism into statement-dressing territory. Reimagining the Y2K-era Big Tic, this timepiece—with graphic dials and a digital seconds display—delivers nostalgic sports memorabilia directly to your wrist.

Who To Know

These soccer savants have incredibly well-stocked wardrobes, and it’s important to take a note or two from their sporty expertise.

Jonathan David

Colloquially called “the Iceman,” Juventus’ star striker—and former FASHION cover star—is a master at playing it cool. The Adidas ambassador doesn’t bother with flashy logos or clout-chasing gets. Instead, David’s well-tailored outfits are polished and intentional, fitting for the sleek goal scorer that he is. As he once told FASHION, “When you’re the quietest in the room, you can observe and read it.”

Kylian Mbappé

To get an idea of the France team captain’s streetwear game, look to his pristine collection of pre-practice bags. Spanning chocolate suede, cream-coloured leather and stark charcoal with chrome hardware, Mbappé’s bags have become a calling card for his well-coordinated outfits. Aside from off-duty accessorizing, he has caught the eye of heritage fashion houses—with Dior and Loewe as ongoing partners.

Riccardo Calafiori

This Italian defenceman could very well double as a model—so much so that his presence at London Fashion Week and magazine-ready photo shoots feels like a natural extension of his job. Beyond coveted brand partnerships (he’s the face of Adidas underwear), Calafiori leans into fluid self-expression, wearing distressed Louis Vuitton trousers, see-through button-ups and chunky hoop earrings.
