On June 27, Toronto won a sixth Canadian Championship title following a 3–2 aggregate victory against the Montreal Impact, earning them a spot in the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League. [1]

On September 30, the club officially clinched first place in the regular season standings after a 4–2 home win over the New York Red Bulls, becoming the first Canadian team to win the Supporters' Shield. [2] Toronto drew 2–2 away to Atlanta United in their final regular season match on October 22; in doing so, they reached 69 points, breaking the MLS regular season record of 68. They also tied the league record for wins in a season with 20, and scored 74 goals, the joint-second highest seasonal tally ever. [3]

Toronto won the Eastern Conference Championship on November 29 for a second consecutive season, defeating the Columbus Crew 1–0 over two legs. [4] On December 9, in a rematch of the previous year's final, Toronto defeated the Seattle Sounders 2–0 in MLS Cup 2017 at BMO Field, becoming the first MLS team to complete a domestic treble, as well as the first Canadian team to win the MLS Cup.

Notes:
  1. CONCACAF Champions League
    Selection Procedure
    • Four US-based teams qualified for the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League. Due to a change in format to the tournament, two qualifiers came from each of the 2017 and 2018 MLS seasons. [25] This combined qualification method was used for the 2019 tournament only. For the 2017 season, the following teams qualified:
      1. The winner of MLS Cup 2017; this berth was reallocated to the best US team in aggregate points in both 2017 and 2018 MLS seasons (New York Red Bulls) as Toronto FC won the Cup.
      2. The winner of the 2017 U.S. Open Cup (Sporting Kansas City).
      Thus unlike previous seasons, the Supporters' Shield winner and the regular season conference champion that did not win the Supporters Shield were not guaranteed a berth. Each qualifier entered at the second phase of the tournament.
      One Canada-based team qualified for the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League, also entering at the second phase (NOTE: Canadian teams could not qualify through MLS):
      1. The winner of both the 2016 and 2017 Canadian Championship (Toronto FC)
