The Canada Men's National Football Team represent Canada in Senior Men's international gridiron football competitions. It is governed and managed by Football Canada and is recognized by the International Federation of American Football (IFAF). Football Canada is the governing body for amateur Canadian football, however, IFAF-sponsored games are played using American football rules. They competed for their first and only IFAF World Championship in 2011.[1]

The 2025-26 Senior Men's will be fielding a team for the IFAF World Championships. A planned North American qualifier against Team Mexico in Mexico City is tentatively scheduled for February in cooperation with the Mexican American Football Association (FMFA) and IFAF.

Since the 2011 senior event, Canada's flagship men's tackle program is the Canada national football junior team, an elite U20 developmental program that participates in the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) Under-19 World Championship, which was a biennial championship until 2020, then moved to a quadrennial event. The IFAF World Junior Football Tournament in Edmonton, Alberta in July 2024 was won by Canada for a third consecutive time, and the fourth overall. Canada is the most successful team at the WJFC. In addition to the 2024 world championship, they won the 2012 Under-19 championship, upsetting the favourite and host team, the United States, to give the US national team its first loss to date in international competition. They won the 2016 championship in China, then defended their championship with a 2018 title in Mexico. The 2020 tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
