With FIFA World Cup 2026™ coming to Vancouver, LDB Wholesale Operations is actively planning and coordinating operational readiness efforts to support customers throughout the tournament period.

We would like to advise customers of anticipated increased demand and potential delivery considerations during this busy time. Please note that increased congestion, road closures, and access restrictions, and security perimeters around BC Place and downtown areas on match days, will impact delivery timing and routing in the Vancouver area.

Customers may refer to the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Vancouver Host Committee webpage for additional information about road closures, events and activities that may impact their business during this time.

The LDB Wholesale Demand Planning team will be working closely with vendors and agents to support inventory planning and bring in additional product as required, particularly for high demand SKUs.

Planning tips  

For Customers
To minimize potential impacts, customers are strongly encouraged to:

Order early and build inventory ahead of match dates and peak periods.

Place orders on time and ensure all account and payment information is up to date.

Allow additional time for deliveries during peak periods.

Plan for increased demand, particularly evenings and weekends around game days.

Please note that any delivery or schedule changes will be communicated directly to impacted customers.

For Suppliers and Agents

Work closely with your Wholesale Demand Planner to support forecast alignment and inventory planning, ahead of anticipated peak demand periods.

Maintain ongoing communication regarding inventory availability, shipment timing, and any potential supply constraints throughout the tournament period.

Please note that any impacts to outbound customer deliveries or scheduling will be communicated directly to impacted customers by the LDB Wholesale Customer Centre (WCC).
