For the first time, the Canadian Championship featured four teams from four provinces after the addition of FC Edmonton. The four teams were divided into two, two-match, total goals, semi-final series. The semi-final winners then squared off in the Canadian final, which was another two-match, total goals affair. Reigning champions Toronto FC went undefeated across four matches to win their third-straight Voyageurs Cup. After beating FC Edmonton 4-0 in the semi-finals, they beat Vancouver Whitecaps 3-2 in the final.
