In the race to the 2020 Canadian Championship, Canada’s three Major League Soccer teams will face each other across nine matches in August and September in a prelude to this year’s Battle of the North. The nine MLS matches from August 18 to September 16 in Vancouver, Toronto and Montréal (six matches per team) will have the added importance of qualifying one MLS team to the 2020 Canadian Championship Final.
As announced, the 2020 edition of the Canadian Championship Final will feature the winner of the Canadian Premier League’s Island Games against the Canadian winner of the MLS first phase of the revised league schedule.
