Season Form & Standings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 2025 MLS Regular Season saw FC Dallas finish in seventh place in the Western Conference, clinching a Playoff spot with a balanced if unspectacular campaign. Toronto FC, meanwhile, ended a challenging year 12th in the Eastern Conference, struggling to string together wins and missing out on postseason action. Dallas’ Playoff berth reflected their attacking potency but also exposed defensive vulnerabilities, while TFC’s season was built on structure and control but lacked cutting edge up front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
