Notes:

1. CONCACAF Champions League
   Selection Procedure

   • Four US-based teams qualify for the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League:
     1. The winner of the MLS Cup 2016 (Seattle Sounders FC);
        
     2. The winner of the Supporters' Shield (FC Dallas);
        
     3. The regular season conference champion that did not win the Supporters Shield (New York Red Bulls);
        
     4. The winner of the 2016 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (FC Dallas; already qualified, so berth passes to Colorado Rapids)
        
     Should a team qualify through more than one method, or should a team from Canada occupy any MLS qualifying place, the next best US team in the overall table would take its place.
     One Canada-based team qualifies for the Champions League (NOTE: Canadian teams cannot qualify through MLS):
     1. The winner of the 2016 and 2017 Canadian Championship (Toronto FC)
