Here's when FIFA World Cup matches are scheduled for Toronto

The FIFA World Cup kicks off in Toronto this week. 

The tournament is set to open up in Mexico on Thursday, with Toronto slated to host the first of its six World Cup matches on Friday.  

FIFA World Cup tickets have been a hot commodity for months, and the TV numbers are expected to be enormous. 

Global television audiences averaged 148 million viewers for group-stage matches during Qatar 2022. That's more than the 125 million American viewers who watched Super Bowl LX in February.
