Canada meet Qatar at BC Place on Thursday, June 18, 2026, match 27 of the tournament and the pivot of the group — by now both sides know exactly what a win is worth. Group B sends its top two through automatically, with the eight best third-placed teams across all twelve groups also advancing — so neither side can afford a flat ninety minutes.

Vancouver provides the stage — its cable-supported retractable roof makes kickoffs weather-proof on the rainy Pacific coast. Kickoff is 15:00 stadium time (PDT); fans of Canada and Qatar can check the exact hour back home in the times panel below.
