Toronto, Mexico City and Los Angeles will come together on June 10 for the FIFA Countdown Concert, a live celebration taking place on the eve of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Designed as a shared event across the tournament's three host nations, the concert will combine live music, cultural performances and digital broadcasts as fans prepare for the opening of the biggest FIFA World Cup in history.

Toronto's celebration will take place at Fort York National Historic Site and The Bentway, where fans will gather for an evening of performances and World Cup-themed festivities. The Toronto lineup includes Bryan Adams, Wyclef Jean, Nora Fatehi and Canadian artist AHI.

The event is part of FIFA's effort to showcase the cultural diversity of Canada, Mexico and the United States ahead of a tournament that will be the first World Cup hosted by three countries. The competition will feature 48 teams and 104 matches across North America.

While each city will host its own live audience, the concert is designed as a connected production linking all three locations through a shared broadcast experience. Fans around the world can follow the celebration through FIFA's digital platforms, including the official FIFA World Cup TikTok channel at @fifaworldcup.

The concert arrives as host cities welcome visitors from around the world and prepare for weeks of matches, fan events and celebrations surrounding the tournament.

For Toronto, the event offers an opportunity to showcase the city on an international stage as attention turns toward the opening matches of FIFA World Cup 2026.

Bringing together music, culture and football across three countries, the FIFA Countdown Concert serves as one of the first major celebrations of a tournament expected to attract a global audience of billions.
