Major League Soccer (MLS) announced today the full 34-game 2026 regular season schedule for Toronto FC.

TFC will open its 20th season in MLS on Saturday, February 21, against FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium with kick-off set for 8:30 p.m. ET. The Reds will play their Canadian rivals, Vancouver Whitecaps, on Saturday, February 28 and the following week against FC Cincinnati on Sunday, March 8 at TQL Stadium.

After a three-game road stretch to open the 2026 campaign due to the ongoing upgrades at BMO Field ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Toronto FC will return to play their Home Opener on March 14 against New York Red Bulls. Kick-off time will be announced at a later date. Toronto will conclude its MLS regular season on Saturday, November 7, as TFC visits the 2025 Supporters' Shield winners, Philadelphia Union, on Decision Day.

TFC's early-season matches will be played at the newly expanded World Cup-ready BMO Field, featuring approximately 17,000 new temporary seats and 32 new suites, bringing stadium capacity to 45,000 for the tournament. The club's nine-game homestand of fixtures to begin the home stretch of the season will allow the venue to be ready for Canada's opening 2026 FIFA World Cup fixture on June 12, followed by five tournament matches before the venue is turned back to our club after the FIFA deconstruction phase in early August. To accommodate climate considerations, weekend home matches in March, April, and May will feature afternoon kickoff times, which will be announced at a later date.

Toronto FC will square off against Charlotte FC on Wednesday, August 19 (7:30 p.m. ET), followed by a matchup against New York City FC on Saturday, August 29, at 7:30 p.m. ET. Ticket holders will also receive free entry to the CNE.

During the 2026 season, the Reds will play 25 matches on Saturdays, six on Wednesdays and one each on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Toronto FC's home schedule features 12 games on Saturdays and five on Wednesdays.

Toronto FC will play six (6) Western Conference teams, including matchups against FC Dallas (February 21), Vancouver Whitecaps (February 28), Colorado Rapids (April 4), Austin FC (April 18), San Jose Earthquakes (May 2) and St. Louis CITY SC (September 19).
