Michael Bublé performs at Canada World Cup opening

musicJun 12, 2026261,201

Michael Bublé sang 'Bring It On Home to Me' during the opening ceremony for Canada's World Cup match in Toronto. Canadian singer Alanis Morissette also performed as part of the ceremony. Canada drew with Bosnia and Herzegovina, earning the host nation its first ever World Cup point. Hosting the opener with high-profile Canadian performers while the team picked up a historic first point turned the match into both a cultural showcase and a meaningful sporting milestone for Canada.

Wu-Tang performs at halftime at Game 4 of the NBA Finals and the Knicks come from 29 points down and win. Alanis Morissette performs at the opening ceremony for the World Cup and Canada records their first ever World Cup point. Music is crazy like that, man.

I'm a Spurs fan and I agree. We just need some really good halftime bands for the next three games.

Who is performing for the first USA World Cup match? Gotta get my bet down.

I’d love to hear her sing “you ought to know” but instead of the Full House dude make it about America and Canada.

BNL in 2026 is just kinda sad, Ed can’t sing any more and they haven’t been the same since they kicked Steve out

FIFA was too skittish to book Sarah McLachlan. She did kill a man back in the 90s, after all.

So Fox didn't show Shakira yesterday or Michael Bublé today. Nonsensical.

Main Fox TV feed came back from commercial to show Buble on delay.

Empty seats at the opening Canadian match of the World Cup. A travesty. Perhaps they could lower the prices and let the fans of African and Muslim nations into the tournament.

The USA World Cup opening ceremony does at least look dumb in an interesting way (far as I can tell from a bar TV with the sound off)

I don't understand why Michael Bublé is singing this particular song at this particular time

🇨🇦 Co-hosts Canada have picked up the first World Cup point in their history, drawing with Bosnia & Herzegovina in their opening match of the 2026 tournament. Canada have previously taken part in two World Cups (1986 and 2022) - but lost all six group games that they contested in Mexico and Qatar.

Bublé might have the body language of a popstar, but he’s got the hand gestures of Tony Blair or David Cameron making an impassioned point about stamp duty. #CANBOS #WorldCup2026

Michael Buble sings on the pitch at Canada’s opening ceremony, before the hosts take on Bosnia-Herzegovina at the 2026 World Cup. There are flags on the pitch for Canada, Mexico and NaziLand.

So many dark days for this sport in this country. Now just minutes away from kicking off a home World Cup with a team that, even with the injuries, is darn good. First up, it's Michael Bublé and Alanis Morissette. #CanMNT
