Major League Soccer (MLS) announced Thursday the complete regular season schedule for the 2016 season; which marks the 21st season in league history.

Toronto FC will open the tenth season in club history on Sunday, March 6 against the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena.

The Reds will play their first eight games of the 2016 season on the road to accommodate the construction upgrades to BMO Field.

Toronto FC will host FC Dallas on Saturday, May 7 to open the club's home schedule as TFC returns to a newly renovated BMO Field.

Among the additions in the second phase is the installation of a canopy roof that will cover the east, west and south stands. In addition, brand new lighting and sound systems will be installed along with a rigging system for tifo displays, similar to those found in European stadiums.

At home the club will play 11 matches on Saturdays, three on Wednesdays and three Sundays. There will also be a two-week break following the match on Saturday, May 28 against the New York Red Bulls to accommodate the group phase of the 2016 Copa América Centenario. The tournament is being held in the United States and marks the first time the Copa América will be hosted outside of South America.
