Metro Bowl – Toronto's Football Tradition since 1982

Toronto's Tradition Since 1982

For four decades, the MetroBowl has been the pinnacle of GTA high school football, originating with a historic clash in 1982. Now celebrating its 40th edition, the championship has returned to Toronto under the stewardship of Football Toronto, crowning a champion from the TDSSAA, TDCAA, ROPSSAA, and LOSSAA leagues. This modern iteration has evolved beyond a single championship, expanding into a larger tournament celebration that includes additional bowl games and an all-star game to showcase a broader range of talent and foster a greater sense of community and athletic excellence.
