This article lists active Canadian professional soccer clubs whose men's sides have won competitive honours run by official governing bodies. Friendly competitions and matches organized between clubs are not included. A significant number of Canadian clubs have participated and continue to participate in leagues sanctioned by American authorities.
The first official title won by an active Canadian professional soccer club was claimed by the Vancouver Whitecaps, who were crowned 1979 NASL champions after defeating the Tampa Bay Rowdies 2–1 in Soccer Bowl '79. [1] From there, Canadian teams began playing in multiple different American and Canadian leagues, including the original Canadian Soccer League (1987–1992), the American Professional Soccer League (1990–1996), the USL First Division (2005–2010), Major League Soccer (1996–present), and finally, the Canadian Premier League (2019–present).
As of 2024, three Canadian professional clubs play in the U.S.-sanctioned Major League Soccer, while the other eight play in the Canadian Premier League.
The table below shows every official title won by active Canadian professional soccer clubs regardless of the division.
Numbers with a blue background are record totals for that category. Statistics include previous iterations of active professional clubs, such as the Vancouver Whitecaps and CF Montréal.
