After the opening ceremony, the field will be cleared for the first World Cup game of this edition for co-hosts Canada and the small country of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Both teams are seeking their first-ever World Cup victory in the inaugural World Cup game played in Canada after Day 1 saw two games in Mexico.
Bosnia and Herzegovina are playing in a World Cup only for the second time after they made their debut in 2014. Canada have lost all the six games that they have played at the World Cup but will enter the match as favourites to get three points for the first time at this level.
Canada captain Alphonso Davies is likely to miss the match but still the co-hosts are better placed for a result in their favour.
In India, fans can watch the FIFA World Cup 2026 Canada opening ceremony live on Unite8 Sports TV channels. Fans can also live stream the show on Zee5 app and website.
