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.
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. 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.
Toronto won the Eastern Conference Championship on November 29 for a second consecutive season, defeating the Columbus Crew 1–0 over two legs. 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.
