The Canadian Premier League's only remaining undefeated team in 2025 hosts its most in-form club in the latest edition of a heated rivalry on Saturday evening in Hamilton.
Defending regular season winners Forge FC have gone seven games without a loss to begin their title defence. Cavalry FC, meanwhile, the league's playoff champions, have rattled off four straight victories during the month of May. One of those two streaks will come to an end at Hamilton Stadium on Saturday.
The match kicks off at 5 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. MT / 2 p.m. PT and is available to watch on TSN3 and OneSoccer.
