Where to Watch For soccer fans interested in experiencing both FIFA 2026 and British Columbia’s world renowned cannabis, there are several opportunities to do both in Vancouver: Start by locating one of Vancouver's FIFA training or event venues. We've put together a list to make it easy: Killarney Park VSTS Located in East Vancouver near the Killarney Community Centre 6260 Killarney St., Vancouver, BC, V5S 2X7 National Soccer Development Centre VSTS Located at the University of British Columbia 3065 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver, BC, V6T 2J3 Hastings Park (PNE) FIFA Fan Festival From June 11 to July 19, 2026, Hastings Park will host giant-screen live match broadcasts in a free, open-to-the-public festival atmosphere featuring food and beverages, cultural programming, and more than 120 live performances. While you won't see the teams and players in person at this venue, it will be one of Vancouver's premier destinations for watching the matches and celebrating the tournament. Vancouver’s Legacy Cannabis Retailers Before heading to a training session or fan event, check out one of Vancouver's legacy cannabis retailers. Prior to legalization in October 2018, these stores – then commonly known as medical marijuana dispensaries – provided access to cannabis for thousands of Canadians. Many of the people behind these businesses accepted significant personal and legal risks while advocating for cannabis reform and challenging prohibition. Their efforts helped pave the way for the legal cannabis industry that exists in Canada today. Here are several legacy retailers conveniently located near FIFA-related venues: Near Killarney Park Sunrise Cannabis (1.1 Km from Killarney Park) THC Canada (4.5 km from Killarney Park) Near UBC National Soccer Development Centre Chronic Hub (On route to UBC National Soccer Development Centre) Evergreen (On route to UBC National Soccer Development Centre) Near Hastings Park Village Bloomery (On route to Hastings Park) Eggs Canna (On route to Hastings Park) Vancouver is an official host city for the 2026 FIFA games and for the first time in history, fans will be able to attend games in a nation that has legalized weed. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to consume cannabis at a game because it is prohibited. However, you can purchase as many alcoholic drinks as you like at the games, and many will do just that. So is this a double standard or is FIFA behind the times or …both? Canada's legal cannabis industry has grown significantly since legalization in 2018, generating billions of dollars in economic activity and tax revenue while supporting a regulated system focused on public health, safety, and consumer choice. As a result, cannabis has become part of the experience many visitors seek when traveling to Canada.
