On the ground in Vancouver: everything you need to know about one of the most beautiful World Cup 2026 host cities

An aerial shot of downtown Vancouver in the sun, with the mountains in the distance and the city's stadium BC Place prominent in the middle of the shot.

Vancouver is a city that loves to host. Don’t expect locals to be Air BNB’ing their homes and evacuating for the World Cup, they will be here to welcome visitors, join in the party and contribute to what could well be the vibiest of all 16 locations across Canada, USA and Mexico hosting World Cup games this summer.

The city hosted the Winter Olympics in 2010 and the Women’s World Cup final in 2015, so this isn’t their first rodeo by any means.

FourFourTwo visited two months out from the first of seven games taking place at their downtown stadium, BC Place, to recce this incredible city.
