Nashville SC sit in first place in Major League Soccer's Regular Season with 57 points from 26 matches, having won 17, drawn 6 and lost 3. Their record of 53 goals scored and just 21 conceded stands as one of the sturdiest in the 30-team table. Toronto FC arrive in twelfth place, 28 points behind their hosts, with 29 points accumulated from 26 outings.
Nashville's recent form reads 8 points from their last 5 matches, a run that includes a 3-0 win over Chicago Fire and a 4-0 victory against FC Cincinnati, interspersed with two draws and a defeat. That defeat came at the hands of Toronto FC on 9 September, a 2-1 result that will not have been forgotten on home soil.
Toronto arrive carrying consecutive defeats, having lost 3-1 to St. Louis City and 3-0 to Orlando City SC in their two most recent outings. They have taken 5 points from their last 5 matches. Their goal record over the course of the season reads 39 scored and 49 conceded across 26 appearances.
The head-to-head meeting earlier this campaign — a 2-1 Toronto FC win on 9 September 2026 — is the sole piece of recent history between these two sides and gave Toronto a result that shaped their current form picture. Nashville will be looking to respond on their own ground in Matchday 27.
With Nashville in the top two and Toronto mid-table, the table positions make plain the contrast in the two sides' seasons so far. Kick-off at Geodis Park is at 00:30 UTC on Sunday, 27 September 2026.
