Ahead of this weekend’s Home Opener, Toronto FC announced today a series of fan-focused initiatives and programming planned for the 2026 Major League Soccer (MLS) season, a milestone year marking the club’s 20th season and Toronto’s position as a host city for the FIFA World Cup 2026TM. The Reds will open their home schedule on March 14, launching a season-long celebration of the club’s two decades of embracing ‘All For One’ by creating unique experiences that give fans closer access and special moments with the team and players they love.
“Toronto FC’s 20th season is a celebration of the club’s history and its connection with our city and our fans. It’s the time to honour our legends and the supporters who have been the heart and soul of this team from the very beginning,” said Toronto FC General Manager Jason Hernandez. “As we reflect on two decades, we are more committed than ever to bring new fan experiences and matchday programming, ensuring that 2026 and the years to come bring new memories and more special moments to our supporters.”
Toronto FC’s 20th season will feature the following key programming and events:
• Home Opener – March 14: Fans are invited to rally together and kick off matchday with the ‘March to the Match’ beginning at Liberty Village and led by TFC alumni Dwayne De Rosario, Jim Brennan and Doneil Henry. Upon arriving at BMO Field, fans will experience the debut of the club’s Winterdome activation in the King Club. In addition, all attendees of this milestone match will receive a commemorative seat cushion inspired by Danny Dichio’s iconic 24th minute goal from 2007, marking the first goal in club history.
