Stadium 2026 World Cup host Toronto, Canada

Could BMO Field go solar?

Ahead of 2026, BMO Field's canopy roofs over the east and west stands were expanded — and together they now amount to roughly 15,000 square metres of Toronto rooftop. Covered fully, that surface could carry about 5,000 panels, close to 2.0 MW. With around 1,396 sunshine hours a year, Toronto FC's home might in theory generate an estimated 2.2–2.6 million kWh, comparable to nearly 890 homes.
