Fresh off lifting the Supporters’ Shield as regular season winners, the Montréal Roses are set for the most significant match in franchise history. This Saturday, November 14 at 2:00 PM ET, Montreal faces AFC Toronto in the Northern Super League Final at TD Place in Ottawa, with the prestigious Diana B. Matheson Cup on the line.
Following a 5-2 aggregate semi-final victory over Vancouver Rise (3-0 road win in Leg 1, 2-2 draw in Leg 2), the Roses head into the national final aiming to cap their record-breaking campaign with a second trophy.
Championship Matchup
Saturday’s showdown brings together the top team of the regular season and one of the league’s flagship contenders. The Roses (12-4-9, 45 points) captured the Supporters’ Shield while boasting one of the league’s most potent attacks, tallying 48 total goals across the regular season and playoffs.
AFC Toronto (10-6-9, 39 points) enters their second consecutive championship final. After winning the Supporters’ Shield in 2025, Toronto stormed through their 2026 semi-final series with an 8-2 aggregate win over Ottawa Rapid FC (4-2 in Leg 1, 4-0 in Leg 2). Powered by striker Kaylee Hunter - who scored four goals in the semi-finals - Toronto arrives in Ottawa with formidable momentum.
