Toronto emerged in an era of revitalization for MLS. After the league shrunk down to ten teams in 2002, Real Salt Lake, Chivas USA, and, in 2005, Toronto FC were awarded, bolstering the league’s roster of clubs.
The Reds kicked off in 2007, a the brand new BMO Field near downtown Toronto. The stadium sits on the site of the old Exhibition Stadium, which had been home to the NASL’s Toronto Blizzard in the 1970s and 80s.
Toronto was popular with fans but did not reward them with results early on. TFC missed the playoffs in each of their first eight seasons, never finishing better than 11th overall. In fact, they finished dead last twice during that span.
However, they did win the Canadian Championship four times, which afforded them a frequent spot in the CONCACAF Champions League. They did, however, lose the Canadian Championship to then-USL side Montréal Impact in 2008.
The mid-2010s saw a change in fortunes in league play, however. After a runner-up effort in 2016, TFC did a treble in 2017. They won the Supporters’ Shield, MLS Cup, and Canadian Championship all in the same year. The following season, in 2018, TFC nearly became the first MLS team in almost two decades to win the CONCACAF Champions League. However, they lost the final to Chivas on penalty kicks.
This era also saw upgrades to BMO Field. An expansion added an upper deck and roof to the stadium. But this came with a catch – they now share the facility with the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts football team.
Toronto FC is owned by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment. This group also owns the Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL), Toronto Marlies (AHL), Toronto Raptors (NBA), and the aforementioned Argonauts (CFL).
