With a new CBA tentatively agreed to by MLS and the players I would think the announcement for the date of the final vs Forge would not be too far off. As we know many players are have already or are making their way to Toronto.

Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
At this point maybe best to play it the weekend before MLS starts. That would give both teams time to prepare.Originally Posted by Red CB Toronto

The winner gets a trip to play Club Leon of LigaMx.
You know what? I am now cool with just letting Forge represent Canada.
Nothing like facing the champions of Liga MX to get #Armasout and #baldfraudarmas going.
Leon is sitting pretty far down in the standings right now, but they finished top 2 in the past four Liga MX half seasons.
Hoping we win against Forge, but lets not kill ourselves against Leon. Could be a good chance to get some youth players some minutes.
Way too early in the season to say they're pretty far down. They've played 4 games (most have played 5) and they're 6 points behind first. They win their game in hand and they're only one win back of top of the table.
How would we (or Forge for that matter) even manage the CCL with travel restrictions? The round of 16 might be doable since it's before the season starts, but what happens if we make the quarters which would fall about a week into the MLS season?
Looks like the Canadian teams will be starting in the USA. So I'd assume they'd deal with it the same way the US MLS teams deal with it.

That’s as brutal as it gets for a draw.
That's completely untenable for the Canadian club. TFC is nowhere near as talented as they were in 2018. I would just give it to Hamilton at this point and let them get the experience (and the costs). Why does it seem we get shafted most years with the draw?
I support a team, not a project.
Sorry, but NEVER give up on a trophy.
How can you say that??!! My best memories at BMO Field are those Champions League games against Mexican teams!!
Leon - bring it on! Go Poz and Richie and the rest! We can beat 'em!!

The CSA and CONCACAF are backing the CPL, they are all in on that project. Despite the current higher level of play, MLS is an American league, so it doesn't meet their goals for Canada. That's all we need to know.
Sorry I wasn't clear - I meant that *Canada* gets shafted with the draws most years. I think I can count on one hand years where Canadian Teams didn't start CCL against a Mexican Club. It applies to both CPL and Canadian MLS clubs. American clubs usually get a cakewalk the first round or two.
Maybe March 20th:

TFC are currently training at BMO ... is there a plan on when they are going south?
Where's Hamilton training? Can they play at their stadium this early?
Though I don't know if lockdown impacts this or not. Toronto was supposed to leave lockdown in a week - but as the cases haven't dropped since they extended it 2 more weeks, I don't see that being likely. Hamilton isn't in lockdown, but cases are increasing there.
