Jesse Marsch's side will head into the tournament with a blend of youth and experience, as 13 players return from Canada's last World Cup appearance in Qatar.
The CanMNT opens Group B play on June 12 against Bosnia and Herzegovina at Toronto Stadium, the n relocates to Vancouver for matches against Qatar on June 18 and Switzerland on June 24.
Roster trimmed from 32-player pool
The final squad was cut down from a 32-man player pool that assembled for a pre-tournament training camp in Charlotte, N.C. Several players who attended the camp did not make the cut: defenders Zorhan Bassong, Jamie Knight-Lebel and Ralph Priso, midfielder Jayden Nelson, and forwards Daniel Jebbison and Jacen Russell-Rowe.
Three goalkeepers made the roster: Maxime Crépeau, Owen Goodman and Dayne St. Clair. Crépeau and St. Clair will split duty in a friendly against Uzbekistan in Edmonton on June 1, with the winner presumably earning the starting nod for the full game against Ireland in Montreal on June 5.
Injury concerns cleared for key defenders
Marsch's backline has dealt with injury troubles this season, though several players passed late fitness tests. Centre-backs Moïse Bombito and Alfie Jones had limited club action since October and December respectively but are cleared for the tournament.
The defensive corps also includes Derek Cornelius, Alphonso Davies, Luc de Fougerolles, Alistair Johnston, Richie Laryea, Niko Sigur and Joel Waterman.
Davies, who injured his hamstring in early May during Bayern Munich's Champions League semifinal, is expected to miss the opening match. His availability for subsequent matches remains uncertain.
Midfield and attack options
The midfield group features Porto's Stephen Eustáquio, Ismaël Koné, Nathan Saliba, Liam Millar, Toronto FC's Jonathan Osborne and Mathieu Choinière. Wing options include Jacob Shaffelburg, Tajon Buchanan, Ali Ahmed and Marcelo Flores.
Forward Promise David, who underwent hip surgery in February, recovered ahead of schedule and passed a late medical to join the squad. He joins Jonathan David, Cyle Larin and Tani Oluwaseyi in the attacking pool.
Canada enters its third World Cup still searching for its first victory. Should the team advance from the group stage, knockout matches would also be hosted in Vancouver. Toronto and Vancouver will collectively stage 10 additional matches throughout the tournament.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup Final is scheduled for July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.
