Toronto FC exit Canadian Championship vs. Atlético Ottawa

Toronto FC dropped a 3-1 decision at home to Atlético Ottawa on Tuesday night to exit the 2026 Canadian Championship in the Preliminary Round.

Deandre Kerr's 16th-minute strike gave the hosts the early lead at BMO Field, but the reigning Canadian Premier League champions flipped the script with a late hat trick from ex-CF Montréal winger Ballou Tabla.

Toronto were seeking their ninth Voyageurs Cup and first title since 2020. This year's winner qualifies for the 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup.
