Updated as of Saturday, November 7.
The Canadian club season is nearing its end, and with it, the four Concacaf Champions Cup spots have been confirmed.
Qualified clubs (4/4)
- Forge FC (Canadian Championship winner)
- Cavalry FC (CPL Shield winner)
- Atlético Ottawa (CPL champion or best CPL team not yet qualified)
- Vancouver Whitecaps (First in the MLS Western Conference)
Here's how each club qualified and can qualify.
1. Cavalry FC (CPL Shield winner)
Cavalry led the league with 60 points and secured the CPL Shield on the final matchday, also confirming their spot in the 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup.
2. Forge FC (Canadian Championship winner)
Forge defeated Montréal in the final, lifting the Voyageurs Cup for the first time in club history and securing a spot in next year's Concacaf Champions Cup, making them the first Canadian team to do so.

3. Atlético Ottawa (CPL spot)
After securing a place in the 2026 CPL final, where they will face Cavalry in Alberta, the club from the nation's capital also locked up a spot in next year's Champions Cup.
If Cavalry win the final, Atlético Ottawa would claim the berth reserved for the best-placed CPL side not yet qualified, with Forge already taking the Canadian Championship spot and thus shifting the spot to the 3rd-placed team, Ottawa.
4. Vancouver Whitecaps (First in the MLS Western Conference)
The Whitecaps qualified after securing the top spot in their conference, technically stealing the berth from the United States and bringing it to Canada.
As a result, Canada will have four teams in the competition for just the second time ever, and the second year in a row, with Vancouver joining Cavalry, Forge, and Atlético Ottawa.
