Notes:

• Four US-based teams qualified for the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League. Due to a change in format to the tournament, two qualifiers came from each of the 2017 and 2018 MLS seasons. This combined qualification method was used for the 2019 tournament only. For the 2018 season, the following teams qualified:
  1. The winner of MLS Cup 2018 (Atlanta United FC);
     
  2. The winner of the 2018 U.S. Open Cup (Houston Dynamo)
     
  Thus unlike previous seasons, the Supporters' Shield winner and the regular season conference champion that did not win the Supporters' Shield werw not guaranteed a berth. Each qualifier entered at the second phase of the tournament.
  One Canada-based team qualified for the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League, also entering at the second phase (NOTE: Canadian teams could not qualify through MLS):
  1. The winner of the 2018 Canadian Championship (Toronto FC)
