Toronto's Tradition Since 1982
Since 1982, the Metro Bowl has been the Greater Toronto Area’s championship football game for secondary school teams. The first game was played between St. Michael’s College (Toronto) and Woburn Collegiate (Scarborough). The Kerry Blues won the game 13-0.
In 2015, the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) reinstated the game as part of a series of regional bowl games, once held annually as part of Ontario’s football bowl festival.
In 2024, Football Toronto returned the Metro Bowl home to Toronto for its 39th edition, which will crown the best team from the TDSSAA, TDCAA, ROPSSAA, and LOSSAA.
The tournament is more than one game, expanding to bowl games and an all-star game.
