Can you bring a power bank to BMO Field (Toronto)

Updated 2026 Stadium rules Reader Q&A
Quick answer

It depends — a power bank is allowed at 2026 World Cup matches under specific conditions. The rule applies at BMO Field in Toronto. Battery packs up to 20,000 mAh are usually allowed but may be inspected at security.

BMO Field (capacity 45,000) follows FIFA's tournament-wide item policy. Canadian federal regulations may add further restrictions specific to Toronto.

Why the rule

Battery packs up to 20,000 mAh are usually allowed but may be inspected at security. Toronto's stadium operators have implemented the FIFA baseline plus standard Canada regulations on prohibited items. Local context: BMO Field is being temporarily expanded to over 45,000 seats for the tournament.

Alternative

If a power bank is restricted at BMO Field, the practical alternative is phone chargers inside the venue.

Bottom line

It depends — a power bank is allowed at 2026 World Cup matches under specific conditions. The rule is uniform across the 2026 tournament unless a venue-specific override is announced via the FIFA app. BMO Field has not currently announced an override for this item.
