- TFC finish 2026 season in 12th place in East, same as 2025

It was an ugly finish to an ugly year for Toronto FC on Saturday.
Eliminated from playoff contention last week, Toronto closed out its 2026 MLS regular season with a brutal 4-1 defeat to the Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park, a result that put a merciful end to a miserable season from the Canadian club.
DP forward Josh Sargent scored in a losing cause for TFC in their season finale.
Toronto (9-13-12, 39 points) finished 12th in the Eastern Conference for a second year in a row, improving on its 32-point and six-win totals from 2025. But that’s not any kind of silver lining for long-suffering TFC fans who watched their side fail to qualify for the playoffs for a sixth consecutive campaign.
