2009 MLS Cup Playoffs
  • ^Note 1  - Toronto FC cannot qualify for the U.S. Open Cup, as it is a Canadian-based team. If they qualify for an automatic berth into the U.S. Open Cup, the next highest placed team not already qualified will be given a berth. Similarly, they cannot qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League through MLS. Rather, they can qualify through the Canadian Soccer Championship. If they qualify for the Champions League through MLS, then the highest placed team not already qualified will qualify.
  • ^Note 2  - Additional Champions League berths will be awarded to the participants of MLS Cup 2009 (Los Angeles and Salt Lake).
    The winner of the 2009 U.S. Open Cup (Seattle) also qualifies.
  • ^Note 3  - SuperLiga 2010 berths are awarded to the top 4 finishing teams from MLS who do not qualify for Champions League (Houston, Chicago, Chivas USA, and New England).
