In the 2025 edition, Forge advanced to the semifinal, defeating MLS side CF Montréal in the quarterfinal for the second year in a row,[4] before being knocked out by the eventual champion Vancouver Whitecaps FC.[5]

Forge qualified for the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup as 2025 CPL regular season winners.[1][6] This was Forge's fourth appearance in the competition and third appearance in a row. In the 2025 edition, Forge faced Mexican side Monterrey in round one, losing 5–0 on aggregate.[7]

Head coach and sporting director Bobby Smyrniotis is contracted to return for his eighth season with the club after signing a four-year contract extension in 2023.[8][9]
