The 2018 Toronto FC season was the 12th season in the history of Toronto FC.

Contents

On April 10, Toronto qualified for the CONCACAF Champions League final for the first time in club history. [1] After a 2–1 home loss to Guadalajara on April 17 in the first leg of the final, Toronto would win the return away leg 2–1 a week later, restoring a tie on the aggregate score, but lost 4–2 in the subsequent penalty shoot-out. [2]

On August 15, Toronto won a third consecutive Canadian Championship title following a 7–4 aggregate victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps. As holders of the MLS Cup, Toronto played against Tigres UANL on September 19 in the inaugural Campeones Cup, losing the match 3–1 at home. [3]

Despite having three games still remaining in the season, Toronto were officially eliminated from playoff contention following a 2–1 home loss against Vancouver on October 6, and thus lost the chance to defend their MLS Cup title. [4]

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. [26] This combined qualification method was used for the 2019 tournament only. For the 2018 season, the following teams qualified:
      1. The winner of MLS Cup 2018 (Atlanta United FC);
      2. The winner of the 2018 U.S. Open Cup (Houston Dynamo)
      Thus unlike previous seasons, the Supporters' Shield winner and the regular season conference champion that did not win the Supporters' Shield werw not guaranteed a berth. Each qualifier entered at the second phase of the tournament.
      One Canada-based team qualified for the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League, also entering at the second phase (NOTE: Canadian teams could not qualify through MLS):
      1. The winner of the 2018 Canadian Championship (Toronto FC)
