Metrolinx announces increase in GO Transit and UP Express services for World Cup

Metrolinx has announced additional GO Transit and UP Express services for FIFA World Cup 2026 to help keep commuters and soccer fans moving across the region.

Beginning June 10, GO train service on Lakeshore West and Lakeshore East will be increased to provide frequent 15-minute service throughout most of the day. Across the network, this will mean nearly 3,000 weekly GO trips available during the football tournament.

The enhanced and express services will run from June 10 to July 5. Regular service will resume July 6.

Before and after Toronto match times, the Lakeshore West line will operate up to six trains per hour between Exhibition GO and Union Station. GO bus service to Niagara Falls will be increased during the tournament period, with additional weekday and weekend trips to support regional travel.

Late‑night service will also be available on GO Transit and UP Express throughout the week:

• Lakeshore West trains departing Union Station as late as 12:47 a.m.
• Last eastbound departure from Exhibition GO 12:36 a.m.
• Last westbound departure from Exhibition GO 12:55 a.m.
• Lakeshore East trains departing Union Station as late as 12:50 a.m.
• UP Express trains departing Union Station as late as 1:45 a.m.

Riders can transfer for free with One Fare between GO Transit and most local agencies, including the TTC.

Customers travelling through Union Station can also use the official pedestrian route to reach the events. The walk takes approximately 45 minutes to Toronto Stadium (at Exhibition Place) and about 30 minutes to FIFA Fan Festival Toronto, with wayfinding in place along the route.

Metrolinx encourages its users to sign up for On the GO Alerts to receive real time updates about trip schedules, delays or disruptions.
