Checked and updated: November 14, 2026, at 04:04 UTC (November 13, 2026, 11:04 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, UTC−05:00, in Toronto). This report distinguishes officially confirmed results from fixtures and scores still awaiting verification.
Canada's men's national team is competing in the 2026–27 Concacaf Nations League A quarterfinals against Guatemala, with a place in the March 2027 Nations League Finals at stake. The opening leg was scheduled for November 13 in Guatemala City, followed by a return match in Toronto on November 16. At the time of this check, the publicly accessible Concacaf and Canada Soccer match listings had not provided a verified final score for the opening leg; consequently, this report does not assign Canada an unconfirmed quarterfinal lead or a final placing.
The latest completed League A quarterfinal result independently confirmed on Concacaf's own news page is Curaçao 0–0 Panama in Willemstad on November 12. That tie remains undecided ahead of its second leg, while the other quarterfinal series determine the remaining semifinalists. Read Concacaf's match report.
Concacaf's November quarterfinal round began with Curaçao and Panama sharing a scoreless draw at Stadion Ergilio Hato in Willemstad, Curaçao, on Thursday, November 12. Concacaf's recap reports chances for both teams but no breakthrough. The official kickoff listing for that matchup has changed between published schedule notices, so this article does not use a disputed kickoff time as the match's actual event timestamp.
The Guatemala–Canada fixture was scheduled for Friday, November 13, at 8:00 p.m. Guatemala City Central Standard Time (UTC−06:00), equivalent to 9:00 p.m. Toronto Eastern Standard Time (UTC−05:00) or 02:00 UTC on Saturday, November 14. Guatemala City does not observe a November daylight-saving change, while Toronto is on standard time on these dates. The schedule and venue are verified; the final score is not confirmed by the official listings reviewed for this update. Readers should use the official Guatemala–Canada match centre for any subsequently posted score, lineups or disciplinary details.

These entries reflect the official November schedule and a verified Concacaf result, not a real-time live scoreboard.
Canada's confirmed position is as a League A quarterfinal participant. It would be misleading to describe Canada as first, second or third in a current League A group table: the 2026–27 competition's League A group phase ended in October, and the November stage is a home-and-away knockout round. Canada therefore has a quarterfinal qualification status rather than a new group points total to report.
Guatemala reached this round by winning League A Group B with two wins, one draw and one defeat, according to Concacaf. The team scored nine goals and conceded three across four group matches. That form explains why Canada faces a side with a substantive group-stage record rather than an exhibition opponent. The official quarterfinal preview notes Guatemala's three clean sheets and William Fajardo's three-goal contribution against El Salvador.
For Canada supporters searching for standings, the meaningful next number is the two-leg aggregate score once both match results are officially verified. League A's quarterfinal winners qualify for the March 2027 Finals. A single scoreline alone does not establish the eventual final-four field.
Canada is scheduled to host Guatemala on Monday, November 16, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. Toronto EST (UTC−05:00) at BMO Field. This corresponds to 01:00 UTC on Tuesday, November 17. Canada Soccer's matches and results page and Concacaf's return-leg match centre identify BMO Field as the venue.
Jonathan David is listed among the forwards in Canada Soccer's current Nations League squad information, alongside Promise David, Daniel Jebbison, Tani Oluwaseyi and Jacen Russell-Rowe. Being listed in the squad does not, by itself, confirm a player's availability or selection in the starting XI. Official lineup and injury updates should take precedence over pre-match speculation. See Canada Soccer's tournament squad listing.
The four winners progress to the League A Nations League Finals scheduled for March 25–28, 2027. Concacaf has also said the wider 2026–27 tournament is connected to qualifying for the 2027 Concacaf Gold Cup. That gives the November games additional competitive importance, although individual scenarios should be evaluated only under the applicable official regulations. Concacaf's finals preview outlines the stakes.
The return match may offer Canada a home-field advantage, but the team still has to earn progression on the pitch. Guatemala's compact defending during the group stage and Canada's available attacking options are relevant tactical considerations, not forecasts of a guaranteed winner. Fans should follow confirmed results and official roster releases as the tie develops.
Yes. Canada is a confirmed League A quarterfinal participant paired with Guatemala. The outcome of the two-leg tie had not been established from the official results available at this update.
Canada is scheduled to host Guatemala at BMO Field in Toronto on November 16, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. EST (UTC−05:00), or November 17 at 01:00 UTC.
