MONTREAL \u2013 Canada’s preparation for the 2026-27 Concacaf Nations League continues this weekend when it plays the second of three international friendlies during the FIFA window.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Canada earned a 1-0 win over Chile last week at Toronto’s BMO Field in its first outing since this summer’s World Cup. It was a hard-fought result for the Canadians, who’ll have their hands full again next month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As one of the top ranked teams in its region, Canada has been given a direct bye to the Concacaf Nations League quarter-finals. Jesse Marsch’s side will face an opponent that is still going through the qualifiers in a two-legged, home-and-away affair from Nov. 9-17. The winner advances to the finals which are slated for next March in Los Angeles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you need to know about Saturday’s contest between Canada and Peru at Montreal’s Stade Saputo (2:00 p.m. ET\/TSN & OneSoccer). \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Note: I will be at Stade Saputo to cover Saturday’s game, so be sure to visit TFC Republic in order to check out our special on-site coverage.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
