Canada Soccer’s National Championships are hosted each October across six divisions in three venues: the adult competition for the men’s Challenge Trophy and women’s Jubilee Trophy; the U-17 Cup competition for boys and girls; the U-15 Cup competition for boys and girls. The Canadian Finals are played on Thanksgiving Monday.

Canada Soccer’s National Championships are hosted each October across multiple divisions and venues, with other host cities to be announced in the coming months. As Canada Soccer’s largest national event featuring clubs from coast to coast to coast, the National Championships provide a meaningful week-long soccer experience for host cities and participating teams, as well as the players, coaches, support staff, officials, and volunteers.

As Canada’s most accessible sport, soccer welcomes more than 750,000 registered players across the nation. This past year alone, more than 800 amateur teams took part in qualifying for the National Championships in the adult, U-17 and U-15 age groups.
