The 2017 Toronto FC season was the 11th season in the history of Toronto FC.

On June 27, Toronto won a sixth Canadian Championship title following a 3–2 aggregate victory against the Montreal Impact, earning them a spot in the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League.[1]

On September 30, the club officially clinched first place in the regular season standings after a 4–2 home win over the New York Red Bulls, becoming the first Canadian team to win the Supporters' Shield.[2] Toronto drew 2–2 away to Atlanta United FC in their final regular season match on October 22; in doing so, they reached 69 points, breaking the MLS regular season record of 68. They also tied the league record for wins in a season with 20, and scored 74 goals, the joint-second highest seasonal tally ever.[3]

Toronto won the Eastern Conference Championship on November 29 for a second consecutive season, defeating the Columbus Crew 1–0 over two legs.[4] On December 9, in a rematch of the previous year's final, Toronto defeated Seattle Sounders FC 2–0 in MLS Cup 2017 at BMO Field, becoming the first MLS team to complete a domestic treble, as well as the first Canadian team to win the MLS Cup.[5]
