How to watch the MLS match between Toronto and Salt Lake, as well as kick-off time and team news.
Toronto returns to home soil on Saturday to face Western Conference playoff candidates Real Salt Lake, who are still without an MLS away win this season after another defeat last week.
While the host team is second-bottom in the East and has recently fired its coach, the visitors from Utah have won four of their last six games in all competitions.

With only three points in their last five games, Toronto announced in midweek that manager Bob Bradley will be removed from his duties with immediate effect.
The former USA coach led his team to 13th place last season after joining the Canadian club in November 2021, and with only Inter Miami below them in the Eastern Conference, they appear to be on track for a similarly disappointing finish this season.
Terry Dunfield has taken over as temporary head coach after moving up from his role as Under-17 coach, and the post-Bradley era will begin on Canada Day, when a top-six Western Conference team visits town.
In Saturday’s game against Minnesota, Utah came back from a 2-0 deficit thanks to Danny Musovski’s fourth league goal of the season in the 79th minute, before a last-gasp equalizer preserved Salt Lake’s unbeaten June record intact.
Following multiple waves of pressure, Justen Glad smashed the ball home eight minutes into stoppage time, equalizing RSL’s latest goal in MLS history and saving a point.
That triumph helped Pablo Mastroeni’s team consolidate their position in the Western Conference playoff spots after 20 games, and Salt Lake has qualified for the postseason in four of the last five years.
Mastroeni and company are especially well positioned to capitalize on Toronto’s struggles this weekend because they have the best away record in Major League Soccer in 2023, having collected 17 points out of a possible 30.
