This week’s GTA Weekly Game of the Week takes us to BMO Field, where Toronto FC hosts New York Red Bulls in a critical Eastern Conference matchup on Wednesday, June 25 at 7:30 p.m. With both teams in the thick of the playoff race, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Toronto is desperate for a home victory, while New York looks to extend their dominance in this head-to-head rivalry. Add in GTA-born talent and the electric BMO atmosphere, and you’ve got the makings of a must-watch clash.
🔴 Reds in Need of Redemption
Toronto FC has struggled at home this season, with a record of 1 win, 2 draws, and 7 losses at BMO Field. Despite a commanding 6–1 victory over CF Montréal earlier this year, the Reds have lost four straight at home and continue to slide in the standings.
Attacking standouts Federico Bernardeschi and Jonathan Osorio will be key, but fans should also keep an eye on Deandre Kerr, the Brampton-born forward who continues to grow into a more prominent role up front.
⚪ Red Bulls Looking to Strike Again
The Red Bulls arrive in better form, sitting 8th in the Eastern Conference with an 8-3-7 record. Known for their relentless pressing and tactical discipline, New York has won four of the last five meetings against Toronto—including a 4–1 win at BMO Field in October 2024.
This week, they’ll look to frustrate Toronto’s attack once again and capitalize on their own consistency in transition.
