Cheer on Canada's Men's Rugby Team as they face the USA in this nail-biting world qualifier
Don your red and white and head to the stadium, Calgary! Canada’s Men’s Rugby Team is heading to the Rugby World Cup Qualifier, and it’s time to cheer on our countrymen!
The Men’s 15’s Canada vs USA is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 22, and this is your chance to see the team battle one of our longest-standing rivals. It’s a make or break Pacific Nations Cup match at McMahon Stadium, which means the stakes are high.
The winner of this match (and the top three teams from the tournament) will earn direct qualification for the 2027 Men’s Rugby World Cup in Australia.

Pre-game with Fan Fest
The fun kicks off with a family-friendly Fan Fest from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., where good times will roll in with food and music. Then the real drama kicks in at 7 p.m. when the teams take to the field.
As Canada’s first match of the 2025 Pacific Nations Cup and the first game against the USA since the 2024 cup, you can bet this game is going to be a nail-biter. And with the Americans winning 28-15 at the last tournament, our Canadians sure do have something to prove.
Coming off two previous matches in Alberta this summer, the Canadian team will be returning to Calgary for the first time since 2017.
Taking into consideration that Canada has played the Americans more than any other team, and is looking for their first win over them since 2021, a little bit of support from fans can go a long way.
Canada’s road to the cup
“The response from the players has been brilliant. They are eager to get stuck in and to be playing such an important match in front of a home crowd in Calgary this summer,” said Stephen Meehan, head coach of Canada’s Men’s Rugby Team.
