Canada's 2026 World Cup squad is officially confirmed, named by head coach J. Marsch on June 2, 2026. The 26-player roster brings together three goalkeepers, eight defenders, ten midfielders and five forwards. Canada is drawn into Group B, where it faces Bosnia & Herzegovina, Qatar and Switzerland. The most-played player in the last 12 months of national-team football is Richmond Laryea, with 1,109 minutes across 14 caps, the squad's most in-form option heading into the tournament. Close behind is Jonathan David on 1,006 minutes, another of the side's most-used players over the same period. Over the past twelve months the team has posted 7 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses, scoring 21 goals and conceding 10. Our ranking orders the squad purely by national-team minutes, not club minutes, and every name links to a player profile with the full minutes and recent-form breakdown.
