Due to travel restrictions imposed by the Canadian government, including a 14-day quarantine period for people traveling from the U.S. to Canada, the three Canadian teams will have to play their remaining home matches in the United States.
The Montreal Impact will play their home matches at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey, Toronto FC's home base will be Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut, while the Vancouver Whitecaps will play their home matches at Providence Park in Portland, Oregon.
MLS clubs will continue to adhere to comprehensive health and safety protocols, including regular testing of players, coaches and essential staff for COVID-19.
