Your Toronto Campus
Toronto
Toronto is the home of our brand new world leading MBA in Sports Management.
The inaugural cohort will begin in September 2026 with classes taking place at BMO Field, a FIFA World Cup host stadium, and Scotiabank Arena, home to several of Canada’s leading professional sports and entertainment franchises.
Delivered in partnership with the Lazaridis School of Business and Economics at Wilfrid Laurier University, the MBA in Sports Management is designed for professionals seeking real access to the global sports industry.
Based in the heart of Toronto’s sports and entertainment ecosystem, the program combines the academic rigour of a Lazaridis MBA with Global Institute of Sport’s industry-embedded approach. You’ll learn through live projects, direct industry exposure and immersive environments within professional sport venues, graduating with the skills, experience and global network to advance your career in sport.
Crowned Major League Soccer champions in 2017, Toronto FC are based at Canada’s national soccer stadium, BMO Field, and are owned by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE).
Our Canadian summits will also access MLSE’s stunning Scotiabank Arena, home of the NBA’s Toronto Raptors and the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs.
On campus and online students, as well as alumni, are able to attend the Global Sports Summit event at Toronto FC each year. The summit is based around 4-5 days of specially tailored talks, workshops and visits specific to the Canadian sports industry.
Global Sports Summit
The schedule in Toronto, like the summits at each GIS hub, will be based around four themes:
- From the pitch – hear from those who contribute towards the playing side of sport such as coaches, match analysts and sports scientists;
- From industry – find out more from those who’re responsible for what happens behind the scenes, including marketing managers, agents and media officers;
- From the boardroom – learn about how the big decisions are taken at clubs and organisations from the likes of chief executives and chief finance officers;
- Cultural activities – this will include visits to national landmarks, more of Toronto’s leading stadiums and at least one live sports fixture (subject to fixture lists).
Guest speakers for the summit will be confirmed closer to the event, but attendees will be able to hear from the leaders and key personnel at some of Toronto’s leading sports and clubs including the Toronto FC, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) and Beswicks Sports.
