The FIFA World Cup lands in Toronto this month—six games, ten teams, BMO Field renamed Toronto Stadium through July 2. If you don't have match tickets, Toronto's patios are your next-best option.
Here are five standout spots to catch the action outdoors:
**Queen West patio off King (downtown)**: An enormous setup packed with picnic tables, a huge projection screen, and a turf soccer field. The space extends long after the tournament ends.
**Little Italy bar (60-year stalwart)**: The city's soccer mecca, boasting a spacious patio and a rowdy, passionate crowd—the closest you'll get to match-day atmosphere without a ticket.
**CN Tower-view patio**: An iconic spot sitting in the shadow of the CN Tower, with a large projection screen set up for all World Cup matches and an unobstructed view under the sun.
**Queen West sports bar**: The outdoor patio has one screen that will play the big games. Bonus: their Caesars are larger-than-life, perfect for morning matches.
**Leslieville corner patio (Coxwell and Dundas)**: A sprawling corner setup with multiple TV screens, communal seating, and a comradely atmosphere that works even if you're flying solo on team allegiance.
Each spot brings its own vibe—pick based on whether you want epic scale, local mecca energy, skyline views, or neighbourhood ease. First matches are June 12.
