CONCACAF Champions League

Four MLS teams are already qualified for the very first CONCACAF Champions League, and Toronto FC have a good chance of going as well. Since the spots in the tournament are given out to countries and not leagues – Toronto FC have a qualifying tournament with the Montreal Impact and Vancouver Whitecaps.

Representing the MLS will be:

  • Houston Dynamo – MLS Cup Champions
  • DC United – Regular season champions
  • New England Revolution – MLS Cup Runner-up
  • Chivas USA – Regular season runner-up (this spot would go to US Open Cup Champions but that was New England who is already in)

Mexico will also be sending 4 teams while Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Panama will each send 2 teams. Beleize, Nicaragua and Canada each send 1 team while 3 teams will come out of the Caribbean.

The first round of the tournament starts August 26th with all but the top 6 seeded teams playing home and away matches.  Houston Dynamo and DC United are 2 of the 6 seeded teams that don’t have to play in the first round of matches.
