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.^[5] However, because Toronto ended up winning the 2017 Canadian Championship, they qualified automatically, and a play-off was not held.

		Report		Stadium: Never confirmed
Note: Play-off not held, Toronto FC automatically qualifies for the Champions League.
