ABOUT
TFC Gaming is the esports and gaming branch of Toronto FC, engaging fans through EA FC 24. By competing in the eMLS and global gaming competitions, TFC Gaming esports athletes demonstrate their skills at the highest level. These skills are used to create accessible educational content for fans and aspiring gamers.

WHY NOW?
EA FC 24 is the world's #1 sports video game series. Now more than ever, fans of all ages are staying connected to soccer through video games. TFC Gaming represents Toronto FC and BMO's commitment to growing the game 12 months a year – helping fans fall in love with soccer, and build out skills and strategies they can also use in the in-person game. Through the BMO NXT LVL Twitch Channel, which streams weekly to a growing audience of 1,600 subscribers, BMO is working to help gamers build financial literacy. Furthermore, through a new partnership with Femme Gaming, an all-women's gaming community, BMO and TFC are working to extend their shared ambition for gender equity in soccer to the realm of e-sports.
