After Mexico kicked off the tournament on Thursday, attention shifts north, with Toronto and Los Angeles hosting the next matches of FIFAโ€™s biggest-ever World Cup.

Canada and the United States both begin their campaigns on Friday, but there is already plenty happening in the matches and outside, too. From a record number of red cards to a surprise retirement and warnings for influencers travelling to the US, here is what you need to know.

The World Cup continues on Friday with the first matches on home soil for Canada and the US.

Canada begins their campaign against Bosnia and Herzegovina at BMO Field in Toronto. Kickoff is scheduled for 3pm local time (19:00 GMT).

Later, the US face Paraguay at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, with kickoff at 6pm local time (01:00 GMT on June 13).

Fans in the US can watch every match in English on FOX and FS1, with all 104 games also available to stream on FOX One and the FOX Sports app.

Spanish-language coverage in the US is available on Telemundo and Universo, with streaming through Peacock. Cord-cutters can also watch via services that carry FOX and FS1, including Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream.

In Canada, TSN is the primary English-language broadcaster, with selected matches also shown on CTV. French-language viewers can follow the action on RDS and RDS2.
