Why Visit
Catch MLS soccer at its rowdiest—Toronto FC home games at BMO Field offer chanting, smoke, and real fandom energy just steps from Lake Ontario. The crowd involvement here goes far beyond casual clapping.
What Makes It Unique
No other Toronto sports team commands a supporter section as loud or fanatic as the South End at TFC matches—chants, banners, and flares are part of the standard playbook. The waterfront location delivers lake breezes and unbeatable pre/post-game people-watching. BMO Field is also compact, putting you right on top of the action.
Toronto FC at BMO Field is the experience of watching Canadian soccer at its most competitive level — a Major League Soccer club that has become one of the most successful in the league's history, playing in an intimate, purpose-built stadium steps from Lake Ontario that amplifies the supporters' culture to a degree that larger North American football stadiums rarely achieve.
Toronto FC joined MLS in 2007 as an expansion club and has grown into a genuine force: a Canadian Championship in 2016, an MLS Cup in 2017, and a Supporters' Shield in 2017 mark the apex of a run that brought Jozy Altidore, Michael Bradley, Alejandro Pozuelo, and (for a brief and glorious period) Sebastian Giovinco to the club. The 2017 team in particular — which reached MLS Cup Final — is remembered as one of the best in league history. The current squad continues to develop under the MLSE ownership group.
BMO Field holds approximately 30,000 for soccer, a capacity that creates an atmosphere far superior to what larger venues achieve. The south end seats the organized supporters' section — known as the South End supporters — who stand, sing, wave flags, and produce the visual and sonic pyrotechnics that have become a hallmark of Toronto FC home games. Even visitors with no particular loyalty to the club find the atmosphere contagious.
The stadium's Harbourfront location is an asset. The waterfront setting, the proximity to the streetcar on Fleet Street, and the gathering energy of the surrounding Exhibition Place grounds make arriving at a Toronto FC match feel like an occasion. Post-game, the bars and restaurants along King Street West and the Garrison neighbourhood absorb supporters in a pleasant extended evening.
