About York Lions Stadium

Owned and operated by York University, the stadium has approximately 3,700 permanent seats and can expand to larger configurations with temporary seating for major events.

The venue hosts professional and university soccer, Canadian university football, track and field meets, and other outdoor athletics competitions, with most events taking place from spring through fall. It is home to York United FC of the Canadian Premier League, AFC Toronto of the Northern Super League, and York Lions varsity athletics in U SPORTS, including football, soccer, and track and field.

Its soccer and football pitch is surrounded by an IAAF-standard track, creating a compact stadium atmosphere adjacent to the Toronto Track & Field Centre and The Dome @ YLS.

Location & Transportation

York Lions Stadium is located at 4700 Keele St, Toronto, ON M3J 1P3 — on York University's Keele Campus in North York.

Transit: York Lions Stadium is well served by the TTC. Line 1 on the Yonge–University subway runs to Pioneer Village Station, roughly a 5-minute walk from the stadium, and York University Station also serves the Keele Campus. Transit is a practical option for many Greater Toronto Area visitors, especially for events when campus traffic is heavier.

Driving and Parking: On-campus parking is available in York University lots near the stadium. Arriving early is recommended on event days because campus lots can fill, and traffic can build around Keele Street as event time approaches.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging options are concentrated near the airport and along the Highway 400 and 401 corridors. Additional hotels in Vaughan and downtown Toronto are accessible via Line 1, giving visitors multiple options for reaching the stadium by transit.

Entrances and Access: Main pedestrian access is from York University's Keele Campus. Visitors arriving by TTC typically approach the stadium on foot from Pioneer Village Station or York University Station.

Seating Levels: Seating is arranged in a single-tier outdoor grandstand overlooking the pitch and track. A straightforward concourse serves the main stand, and temporary seating can be added for larger event configurations.

Getting Ready for Your York Lions Stadium Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an open-air stadium on a university campus.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Use TTC Line 1 to Pioneer Village or York University stations when possible, and allow extra time on campus for parking, walking routes, and event-day crowds.
• Wear the right footwear. York Lions Stadium is an outdoor venue with grandstand steps, so standard stadium footwear is appropriate.
• Dress in layers. The venue is open air and exposed to weather, so dress for the conditions and bring layers for cooler evening matches in spring and fall.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. If arriving by TTC, allow time for the walk from Pioneer Village or York University stations to the stadium.
• Know your entrance. With a single main stand, entrance navigation is simple, and knowing your general seating area is enough to move efficiently once you arrive.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
