Toronto vs LAFC Live: Kickoff Time, TV Channel, Streaming Links & Score Prediction

LOS ANGELES – High-stakes soccer comes to BMO Stadium tonight, 8 October 2025, when Western Conference contenders Los Angeles FC host Toronto FC in a late-season MLS clash scheduled for 7:30 p.m. PT (10:30 p.m. ET). The rescheduled fixture, originally set for June, now lands with both clubs hungry for points: LAFC are chasing a top-four seed out West, while Toronto aim to salvage pride and momentum after a turbulent campaign. MATCH ESSENTIALS • Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. PT | 10:30 p.m. ET • Venue: BMO Stadium, Los Angeles • Streaming/TV: Apple TV – MLS Season Pass; local radio on 710 AM ESPN (LA) and TSN 1050 (Toronto). FORM GUIDE • LAFC: W-D-W-L-W • Toronto FC: L-W-L-D-L KEY STORYLINES 1. Playoff positioning. LAFC sit fourth in the West and can clinch a home playoff match with a victory. Toronto, though out of the Eastern race, have taken points off two playoff teams in their last four outings, signaling danger for complacent hosts. 2. Dénis Bouanga vs. Sean Johnson. Golden Boot leader Bouanga (22 goals) faces one of the league’s most experienced keepers. Toronto’s Johnson, who posted eight saves last weekend, must be flawless against LAFC’s high-press attack. 3. Federico Bernardeschi’s revival. The Italian DP has four goal contributions in his last five, giving Toronto a creative spark that was missing early in the season. His duel with LAFC full-back Sergi Palencia could tilt midfield control. EXPECTED LINEUPS (projected) LAFC (4-3-3): Crepeau; Palencia, Long, Chiellini, Hollingshead; Sánchez, Tillman, Puig; Vela, Bouanga, Oliveira. Toronto FC (3-4-2-1): Johnson; Rosted, Gomis, Mabika; Petretta, Coello, Longstaff, Laryea; Bernardeschi, Insigne; Owusu. Injury report: LAFC list Jesús Murillo (hamstring) and Ilie Sánchez (questionable ankle) on the latest status update. Toronto travel without captain Jonathan Osorio (concussion protocol). WHAT’S AT STAKE • A win lifts LAFC as high as third with two games remaining, preserving hopes of a first-round bye. • Toronto can spoil LAFC’s seeding ambitions and notch their first road triumph in the Pacific Time Zone since 2021.

PREDICTION LAFC’s home record (11-3-2) and Bouanga’s form make the Black & Gold favorites, yet Toronto’s improving attack suggests goals both ways.
