    Toronto FC celebrate winning the 2017 MLS Cup with captain Michael Bradley lifting the trophy

    Treble winners in 2017, the Canadian giants are a force to be reckoned with in MLS.

    MLS moved into Canada with an announcement in 2005 that Toronto had been awarded an expansion team owned by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment. The team name of Toronto FC was announced on May 11, 2006, with the team's first season commencing in 2007.
    The name Toronto FC was chosen after a public vote that also presented Inter Toronto FC, Toronto Northmen and Toronto Reds as options. The team nickname is the Reds and they also go by TFC. The primary team colour is red, with black, grey and white as secondary colours. They wear red kits at home and in 2020 started wearing grey kits on the road.
    Toronto's crest is a shield surrounded by a red border with a red maple leaf on top. There is a large grey T in the middle of the shield with smaller F and C letters on either side at the bottom. A wide red ribbon cuts across the T with the word 'Toronto' written in white.
    Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment run the club and they also operate the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs, the NBA's Toronto Raptors, the CFL's Toronto Argonauts and three minor league teams. They also own and operate NBA TV Canada, GolTV Canada and the Scotiabank Arena.
    The Reds won the Treble in 2017 with an MLS Cup, Supporters' Shield and Canadian Championship. They have won seven Canadian Championships since 2009 and made the MLS Cup play-offs five times between 2015 and 2020, with three trips to the MLS Cup final. The Canadian Championship is the highest domestic professional soccer competition in Canada. It is also the only qualification route for teams in Canada into the CONCACAF Champions League.
    The Reds have always had big-name players from Dwayne de Rosario, Jermain Defoe and Sebastian Giovinco to Jozy Altidore and Michael Bradley.
