FC Dallas host Toronto at the Toyota Stadium in Texas on Saturday for their opening game of the 2026 MLS season. The Bulls are looking for a fresh start after a mixed bag last year. Following a respectable seventh-place finish in the regular season, they lost out in round one of the MLS Cup Playoffs to Vancouver Whitecaps.
In the US Open Cup too, the Texas outfit made an early exit, losing out in the round of 16 after New York Red Bulls beat them 4-3 on penalties following a 2-2 stalemate.
Thanks for the submission!
For the third year in a row, Dallas aim to begin the top-flight season on a winning note, but standing in their way are Canadian side Toronto.
The Reds had a poor campaign last year, achieving just a 12th-place finish and missing out on the MLS Cup Playoffs.
In the Canadian Championship, Robin Fraser’s side couldn’t go beyond the preliminary round as Montreal ended their run with a 3-2 penalty shootout win after playing out a 2-2 stalemate from open play.
Despite the large swathes of transfer activities before the campaign, Toronto continued to struggle for consistency.
