The 2013 Toronto FC season was Toronto FC's seventh season in Major League Soccer, the top tier of soccer in the United States and Canada. Kevin Payne became the club's first president during the off-season. He also became the club's general manager. The season opened on March 2.

The club entered the season as the defending Canadian Championship winners.

Review and events

Kevin Payne became the club president and general manager during the off-season.[1] The club fired Paul Mariner as head coach and was replaced by Ryan Nelsen,[2] who was at the time an active player with Queens Park Rangers F.C. in England. Kevin Payne stated, in reference to Nelson's availability, that "We’re not sure when he’ll join us."[3] Nelson terminated his QPR contract before the end of the season,[4] and joined TFC in February, 2013.

The season opened with an away game on March 2 against the Vancouver Whitecaps FC[5] and finished with a home win against Montreal Impact on October 26.[6]
