Sporting KC joined by four other MLS clubs in Concacaf Champions League

With last year's change of the Concacaf Champions League to a strictly winter and spring tournament, following the intricacies of who qualifies for the 2019 edition has required more than a little guidance for most of us.

With the 2018 CCL entrants from MLS already decided based on the 2016 season, that meant spots in the 2019 tournament would be decided among honor winners from both 2017 and 2018. Toronto FC winning MLS Cup in 2017 also threw a bit of a wrench into qualification.

And now, following Atlanta United's 2-0 victory in the 2018 MLS Cup final, we now know the full field, which includes the New York Red Bulls.
