The No. 6 seed Red Bulls will take on No. 1 seed Toronto FC in a two-leg Eastern Conference Semifinals series, beginning with a home match at Red Bull Arena on Monday, October 30. The official kickoff time is still to be determined.
Toronto and the Red Bulls played to a 1-1 draw at Red Bull Arena in mid-May, with Bradley Wright-Phillips scoring an over-the-head goal for New York. That game also saw Luis Robles stop a penalty kick off the boot of Jozy Altidore to preserve the draw.
Later in the season, Toronto secured the 2017 Supporters' Shield with a 4-2 victory over New York on September 30 at BMO Field in Canada.
