The Canada Men's National Football Team represent Canada in Senior Men's international gridiron football competitions. It is managed by the Team Canada National Men's Football Society under the supervision and governance of Football Canada. It 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. The team competed for their first and only IFAF World Championship in 2011.{{cite web|url= http://www.footballcanada.com/International/2011MensNationalTeam/tabid/95/language/en-CA/Default.aspx|title= Canada will make its first appearance at the Senior Men's World Championship in Austria.|date= 2011|work= footballcanada.com|publisher= Football Canada|access-date= February 8, 2011|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110929232136/http://www.footballcanada.com/International/2011MensNationalTeam/tabid/95/language/en-CA/Default.aspx|archive-date= 2011-09-29|url-status= dead}}

The 2025–26 Senior Men's is fielding a team for the IFAF World Championships. A North American qualifier against Team Mexico in Mexico City was tentatively scheduled for February in cooperation with the Mexican American Football Association (FMFA) and IFAF. However, the FMFA opted not to host or travel to Canada. As a result, Team Canada is the only active national team from North America.

Canada scheduled an international friendly against Italy in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy, on 19 April 2025. Canada won 56–0. It was IFAF's first intercontinental men's tackle game played since the 2015 world championship, a span of nearly 10 years.https://www.americanfootball.sport/2025/04/19/canada-wins/ After the game, Coach Jesse Maddox stated that he was ready to bring Canada back to Europe to face the European Champion later in the year.https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/canada-captures-56-0-exhibition-210836123.html

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 IFAF U-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 in international competition. They won the 2016 championship in China, then defended their championship with a 2018 title in Mexico. The 2020 tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
