Following the conclusion of the 2024 season, Toronto FC announced today their year-end roster moves ahead of the 2025 Major League Soccer season.

"We would like to thank the players not returning for the 2025 season for their hard work and service to our club," said Toronto FC General Manager Jason Hernandez. "We will continue to utilize the MLS provided deadlines in our ongoing discussions with select players into next season."
