CONCACAF Champions League
Selection procedure
- Four US-based teams qualify for the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League. Due to a change in format to the tournament, two qualifiers will come from each of the 2017 and 2018 MLS seasons.^[33] This combined qualification method will be used for the 2019 tournament only. For the 2018 season, the following teams will qualify:
  1. The winner of MLS Cup 2018;
  2. The winner of the 2018 U.S. Open Cup (Houston Dynamo)
  Thus unlike previous seasons, the Supporters' Shield winner and the regular season conference champion that did not win the Supporters' Shield are not guaranteed a berth. Each qualifier enters at the second phase of the tournament.
  One Canada-based team qualifies for the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League, also entering at the second phase (NOTE: Canadian teams cannot qualify through MLS):
  1. The winner of the 2018 Canadian Championship (Toronto FC)

CONCACAF Champions League
Selection procedure

Four US-based teams qualify for the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League. Due to a change in format to the tournament, two qualifiers will come from each of the 2017 and 2018 MLS seasons.^[33] This combined qualification method will be used for the 2019 tournament only. For the 2018 season, the following teams will qualify:
The winner of MLS Cup 2018;

The winner of the 2018 U.S. Open Cup (Houston Dynamo)
Thus unlike previous seasons, the Supporters' Shield winner and the regular season conference champion that did not win the Supporters' Shield are not guaranteed a berth. Each qualifier enters at the second phase of the tournament.
One Canada-based team qualifies for the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League, also entering at the second phase (NOTE: Canadian teams cannot qualify through MLS):
The winner of the 2018 Canadian Championship (Toronto FC)
