Chile national team begins North American tour against Canada

The Chilean national football team will begin a North American tour of international friendlies starting with a match against Canada on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at BMO Field in Toronto. The match marks the first time in the 21st century that Chile has traveled to Canada for a friendly.

Under the interim management of Nicolás Córdova, Chile is using this FIFA window to rebuild the squad following their failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Following the Canada fixture, the team will travel to the United States to face the U.S. national team on September 29 in Saint Louis, before concluding the tour against Mexico on October 6 in Los Angeles.

Canada, led by Jesse Marsch, enters the match following a run to the Round of 16 in the 2026 World Cup. The Canadian side is expected to be favored by analysts due to their recent competitive form and home-field advantage. In Chile, the broadcast rights for these matches have transitioned from Chilevisión to Mega, which will provide coverage via open television and the Mega GO streaming platform.
