Watch Canada play in two upcoming FIFA World Cup matches on the big screen as Cineplex is hosting coast-to-coast viewing parties.
dailyhive.comHere’s what’s current: Cineplex is partnering with TSN to screen select FIFA World Cup 2026 matches in theatres across Canada, with tickets at about $9.99 and a phased rollout starting May 15, 2026. This follows Canada’s co-hosting status and is being marketed as an affordable, communal viewing option beyond what TV or streaming offers.[1][2]
Key details
- Scope: Live screenings of select World Cup 2026 matches in Cineplex theatres nationwide, in collaboration with TSN/RDS and Bell Media, with coverage also on CTV and Crave for broader access.[2][3]
- Ticketing: Tickets go on sale May 15, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. EST, priced around $9.99 plus taxes/fees, available online and at box offices. The rollout is staged, starting with group-stage matches and expanding closer to match days.[3][1][2]

What this means for you
- If you’re in Paris or Île-de-France: Cineplex theatres are in Canada, so this World Cup viewing plan targets Canadian audiences. If you’re traveling to Canada or planning a visit during the World Cup, you could check Cineplex Canada’s listings for participating locations and showtimes.[2]
- For fans seeking a social, lower-cost World Cup experience, this offers a big-screen alternative to home viewing, with concessions and possible alcohol where permitted.[1][2]
