Major League Soccer announced Thursday that its three Canadian clubs will return to play next week in their respective home markets.

The Montreal Impact, Toronto FC, and the Vancouver Whitecaps will play against one another three times each - for a total of six matches per club - as part of the league's first phase of the regular-season restart.

The games will take place from Aug. 18 to Sept. 16.

The complete schedule for those games is as follows (home team listed first):

• Aug. 18: Toronto FC vs. Vancouver (8 p.m. ET)
• Aug. 21: Toronto FC vs. Vancouver (8 p.m. ET)
• Aug. 25: Montreal vs. Vancouver (8 p.m. ET)

With the recent conclusion of the MLS is Back Tournament, the league outlined its plan for its 23 American teams to get back to action. The closure of the Canada-U.S. border for non-essential travel forced MLS to make alternate arrangements for Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver.

The league is still aiming for every team to play 23 regular-season matches, with the playoffs scheduled to start in late November.
