– Toronto FC cannot qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League through MLS. Rather, they can qualify through the Canadian Championship. If they had qualified for the Champions League through MLS, then the highest placed team not already qualified would have qualified.
-
– Additional Champions League berths were awarded to the winner (Houston) and runner-up (New England) of MLS Cup 2007. The winner of the 2007 U.S. Open Cup (New England) also qualified. Because New England qualified twice, an additional berth was awarded to the 2007 MLS Supporters' Shield runner-up (Chivas USA).
