2016–17 Canadian Championship play-off Due to the restructuring of the CONCACAF Champions League for the 2018 edition, two Canadian Championship tournaments were held before the Champions League was scheduled. Canada Soccer determined that a one-off play-off match would be held in Toronto between Toronto FC, the 2016 Canadian Champions, and the winner of the 2017 Canadian Championship, which had not yet been completed. However, because Toronto ended up winning the 2017 Canadian Championship, they qualified automatically, and a play-off was not held.
