Canadian Premier League Finals


The Canadian Premier League Finals is the annual championship series of the Canadian Premier League, the top level of Canadian soccer. It is contested in two legs, currently between the top-seeded team from the regular season and the winner of the single-match playoff. The winner of the Finals earns Canada's berth in the following year's CONCACAF League.
The inaugural Finals was held on October 26 and November 2, 2019. The winner is awarded the North Star Shield.

Format

The Finals is contested in a two-legged tie, with each team hosting one leg at home. The winner is determined by aggregate score. If the aggregate score is tied, the team with the most away goals wins the series. A penalty shoot-out is the final tiebreaker.
In 2019, the Finals was contested between the winners of the Spring and Fall seasons. The 2020 season saw the end of the split season format, and the 2020 Finals will be contested between the top-seeded regular season team and the winner of a playoff between the second and third-placed teams.
