Toronto FC

Ontario is home to the province’s only Major League Soccer (MLS) team—Toronto FC, affectionately known as “TFC” or “The Reds.”

Since joining MLS in 2007, Toronto FC has developed a devoted fan base whose dream came true in 2017 when the Reds won the MLS Cup.

The season starts in late February and runs until mid-October. The playoffs take place in late October and November, culminating in a showdown for the coveted MLS Cup.

Purchase tickets for Toronto FC games from Ticketmaster.

The team plays at BMO Field, an outdoor stadium in Exhibition Place with beautiful views of Lake Ontario. You’ll find a range of delicious snacks and meal options at the stadium’s food concessions.

Location: BMO Field, 170 Princes’ Boulevard, Toronto
