CBC will have a tent at the grounds, including a 360 photo booth, prizes and activities for fans. The broadcaster is directing visitors to cbc.ca/ns for more information. It is a small extra around the match rather than a change to the football itself, but it gives the afternoon a local CBC connection and something for supporters to check out before or around the game.
The Tides play at the Wanderers Grounds, the downtown venue between Citadel Hill and the Halifax Public Gardens. The club is the first professional women’s soccer team in Atlantic Canada and competes in the Northern Super League, which began play in 2025. Halifax finished sixth in the league’s inaugural season and did not qualify for the playoffs. The 2026 schedule includes home fixtures against each of the other founding clubs, with Montréal visiting Halifax for this late-season meeting.
For anyone following the Tides this year, the match also sits in the final stretch of the regular season. The club’s squad includes Canadian players such as Julia Benati, Sarah Taylor, Annika Leslie and Saorla Miller, alongside international players including Cho So-Hyun, Julie Pedersen, Tiffany Cameron and Jordyn Rhodes. Stephen Hart is the head coach, supported by Katie Barrott and Sophie Clough. The Beacons, an independent Halifax Tides supporters’ group, are another part of the match-day atmosphere at the Wanderers Grounds.
The Northern Super League’s 2026 regular season runs from April into November, with the final scheduled for November 14 at a neutral host city. Halifax’s October 17 fixture is therefore one of the team’s last home opportunities before the campaign moves towards its conclusion. The opponent, Montréal Roses FC, is one of the league’s six founding clubs, alongside Halifax, Calgary Wild FC, Ottawa Rapid FC, AFC Toronto and Vancouver Rise FC.
If you are already planning to attend, the useful detail is straightforward: the match is on October 17 at the Wanderers Grounds, and CBC Nova Scotia will be present with its photo booth and prize activities. It is a football fixture first, with a local media stop built into the day.
