Roster slots[edit]

Toronto is allocated 8+3 international roster slots and three Designated Player slots available for use in the 2024 season. Beginning in 2022, MLS added three non-tradeable international roster spots to the Canadian franchises to compensate for the more complicated residency requirements compared to in the United States; players occupying these additional roster spots were required to have played and been registered with a Canadian MLS club for at least one full year.[2] In February 2024, they acquired an additional international roster slot from CF Montréal in exchange for $50,000 in GAM in 2024 and $125,000 in GAM in 2025.[3] Later in February 2024, they acquired another international roster slot from FC Cincinnati in exchange for $25,000 in 2024 GAM and $150,000 in 2025 GAM.[4]
