Canada vs Iceland kicks off on 28 Mar at 12:00 EST and 17:00 GMT.
Match preview
Canada head into the weekend on a solid run - four games unbeaten and yet to concede during that stretch. BMO Field has been a comfortable setting too, with the men’s side avoiding defeat in their last five outings there. Still, recent results at home haven’t all gone their way: they’ve failed to score in their last two internationals on Canadian soil.
A win on Saturday would be a milestone, marking the first time since 2023 that Canada opened a calendar year with back‑to‑back victories. Les Rouges have also enjoyed success against European opponents lately, winning three straight, including a 1‑0 friendly over Wales last September.

For Iceland, the focus is on building momentum ahead of the UEFA Nations League later this year. They’ve dropped their last two matches by a combined 6‑0 and managed just one win in their previous six (2‑0 away to Azerbaijan). Another defeat this weekend would mean starting consecutive years with back‑to‑back losses, something they last experienced in 2025 against Kosovo.
Scoring goals has been a mixed story for them: since 2020, they’ve only lost once when netting multiple times (a 5‑3 setback to Ukraine last October), but even then, they’ve failed to turn goals into wins in two of their last three such matches. And it’s been a while since they beat a CONCACAF side in North America - their last was a 2‑0 victory over Honduras in Fort Lauderdale in 2024.
Key stats & injury news

Canada will be missing some key names this weekend. Captain Alphonso Davies is still sidelined with an ACL injury, Alistair Johnston is recovering from hamstring surgery, Moïse Bombito is working his way back after a fractured tibia, Stephen Eustaquio is nursing a knock, and Jacob Shaffelburg is out with a groin strain.
On the other side, Iceland don’t appear to have any major fitness concerns. History leans their way too - they’ve never lost to Canada, winning the last meeting 2‑0 back in 2020.

How to watch on the Big Screen
Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:
- Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
- Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
