Fort St. John will join 33 other communities included in the route for ‘Canada Celebrates the FIFA World Cup 2026.’
FIFA unveiled the route on Wednesday, calling it a first-of-its-kind program that will unite communities across the country and carry the energy, pride and passion beyond the host cities of Toronto and Vancouver.
Canada Celebrates will bring football fans together for live match viewings, football-themed activations, cultural programming, music, food, and moments of national pride.
It will run throughout the tournament from 11 June to 19 July.

The program will bring FIFA World Cup energy to communities within a two-hour drive of more than 75 per cent of Canadian residents.
Stop-specific programming details have not yet been released.
“As a Canadian, it’s incredibly meaningful to bring a taste of the FIFA World Cup 2026 to communities across the country and ensure Canadian residents can be part of this historic moment. We’re proud to work alongside such passionate partners to deliver experiences that reflect a shared pride and love of football, across Canada;’ said Vittorio Montagliani, FIFA Vice-president and Concacaf president.
