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