Final league standings for the 1987 Western Soccer Alliance season.
History Prior to the season, the Edmonton Brick Men left the league to join the new Canadian Soccer League. This left the Alliance with six teams, which retained its regular season single table standings, but added a post-season playoff to determine the league champion for 1987. The San Diego Nomads won both the regular season and playoff titles.
