With no BMO Field renovations this winter, Toronto FC’s schedule to open the 2017 season is fairly normal. That’s a nice break from the past two years, where the Reds haven’t seen home field until early May, saddled with a seven-game road trip in both seasons.
TFC do start on the road at Real Salt Lake this weekend, but the home opener follows later this month against Sporting KC.
With all that in mind, Toronto’s early-season schedule means they need to hit the ground running this year. Putting up points in the first few months of the season, particularly while the squad is healthy, could make or break their position in the standings come October.
