⚽️ FIFA World Cup 2026 Travel Advisory

With Toronto preparing to host FIFA World Cup 2026 matches and fan events, areas around Liberty Village, Fort York, and Exhibition Place will experience significant traffic changes, road closures, and local access restrictions on match days.

Even if you don’t live in the area, you may be affected if you commute through the west end.

Here’s what to keep in mind when planning your visits to our clinic:

🚧 Expect road closures and restricted vehicle access near Exhibition Place and surrounding neighbourhoods on match days

🚆 Transit will be the most reliable option, with increased demand across TTC and GO lines

⏱️ Travel times may be longer than usual, especially during peak hours and game windows

🚗 Driving and rideshare access in the area may be limited or rerouted during closures

We’re sharing this to help our patients plan ahead and avoid unnecessary stress or delays during their appointments.

If you’re travelling from the west end, we recommend:

✔️ Allowing extra time

✔️ Checking transit schedules in advance

✔️ Considering earlier departures on match days

We’re here to support you through every step of your fertility journey, including making your visits as smooth as possible during this exciting (and busy) time in the city.
