Toronto FC vs. FC Cincinnati: What you need to know

CINCINNATI, OHIO – Toronto FC will play its third consecutive road game to open the 2025 MLS regular season this weekend when it visits FC Cincinnati.

After a solid 2-2 draw away to D.C. United in their opening match of the campaign, TFC suffered a 4-2 road loss to Orlando City last weekend that served as a stark reminder that TFC remains a work in progress under first-year coach Robin Fraser

"We're still growing into our identity as a team. Obviously, these first two games are not a reflection of what we want to be. It's well below the standard of this group. But guys understand it's a process and we're gonna try and get it right as quickly as we can and not jump to panic stations after two games," TFC defender Henry Wingo told TFC Republic this week.  

Here’s what you need to know about Saturday's contest between Toronto and Cincinnati at TQL Stadium (7:30 p.m. ET/TSN & Apple TV).
