This summer's big game is almost here, and new research commissioned by PayPal shows Canadian fans are balancing the excitement of a once-in-a-lifetime event with a cautious approach to spending. A national survey of 1,043 Canadian adults conducted June 3–5, 2026 found that nearly half (44%) of respondents would reduce discretionary spending in other areas to attend matches or enjoy tournament-related experiences. PayPal survey findings highlight the growing importance Canadians place on memorable, shared experiences, and the role of digital payments in helping them plan, pay and participate with confidence.
