We present the photometric calibration of the Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS). The primary goal of the SNLS is to measure the dark energy equation of state with a statistical precision of 0.05. The calibration uncertainties are currently the dominant contribution to the systematic error budget. The photometric calibration of the SNLS dataset is challenging in several aspects. First, Megacam is a wide-field imager, and only a handful of its 36 CCDs can be directly calibrated using standard star observations. Second, measuring the restframe B-band luminosity of SNe Ia over the 0.3
