Montreal Roses FC and AFC Toronto meet in the Northern Super League Final at TD Place in Ottawa on Saturday, 14 November 2026. The league’s official event page sets kickoff for 2 p.m. Eastern Time, or 9 p.m. in Jerusalem, with the Diana B. Matheson Cup decided in a single championship match.
The regular-season table and the championship are separate
Montreal completed the regular season with 45 points, ahead of Ottawa on 40 and Toronto on 38, according to the NSL’s 27 October playoff announcement. The Roses secured the Supporters’ Shield, but the championship follows the playoffs. Leading the table gave Montreal one honour; Saturday’s match offers a further title that remains to be decided.
Different routes to the final
Toronto’s preview, published on 13 November, records an 8–2 aggregate semifinal win over Ottawa. Montreal advanced 5–2 on aggregate against Vancouver. Toronto are returning for their second consecutive final, while the Roses have reached the championship match for the first time.
Across the teams’ five regular-season meetings, Toronto recorded one win, two draws and two defeats, the same preview reports. That history provides context without settling the final’s outcome. The venue is in Ottawa, away from both clubs’ home cities, and the cup now depends on one match rather than the points collected across the regular season.
