The 2017 MLS Cup champions had a disappointing season in 2018, failing to make the playoffs. They’re looking for a bounce-back season in 2019, which begins soon.

TFC will hit the pitch for a pair of CONCACAF Champions League matches this month, playing Panamanian club Independiente FC on the road on February 19 and at BMO Field on February 26.

The winner of the aggregate series will advance to the quarter-finals.

Toronto opens up the MLS regular season in Philadelphia on March 2. Their MLS home opener is March 17 against New England.
