Current: 2024 in Canadian soccer

Despite over 100 years of soccer history, Canada has been without a national soccer league for the majority of its history. The current national league in Canada was founded in 2019 following 26 seasons without one. Throughout history, Canadian clubs have also competed in regional leagues, national championships, and in American professional leagues.

This list focuses on Canadian-run competitions. For modern leagues, only those that are sanctioned by the Canadian Soccer Association as professional or pro–am (division 3 or higher) are included. For historical leagues, only those considered to be "major" by the CSA are included. Individual seasons where a Canadian team was champion of an American-run league also appear here.

Top division leagues

Since the 1960s, four men's professional leagues have been sanctioned as division 1 by the Canadian Soccer Association: the Eastern Canada Professional League, the Canadian Professional Soccer League, the Canadian Soccer League, and the Canadian Premier League.[1]: 98

Historical leagues

In the middle of the 20th century, four leagues were considered to be the highest level of Canadian soccer at the time: National Soccer League (NL), Eastern Canada Professional Soccer League (EC), Pacific Coast Soccer League (PC), and the Western Canada Soccer League (WC). These regional leagues have been designated by Canada Soccer as "major leagues".[1]: 101 

For leagues that used a fall-spring format, the year in this table indicates the year in which the season ended, e.g. the 1960–61 champion would appear in the 1961 row. Only league seasons designated by Canada Soccer are included in this list.

Domestic cups

There are two official domestic cups in Canada and both are ongoing. The Challenge Trophy was first contested in 1913 and it is the oldest ongoing national soccer competition in Canada. Played under a variety of names and formats over the years, it is currently contested annually by the amateur champion of each province and played in a centralized location. The Canadian Championship was created in 2008 to be contested by professional clubs from various American leagues to determine a champion of Canada and an entrant to the CONCACAF Champions League.

Prior to 2008 there were some notable attempts to declare a national champion of Canada. The Open Canada Cup existed from 2003 to 2007, but excluded the premier professional clubs and was largely limited to the Ontario area. The Voyageurs Cup was a fan-run competition from 2002 to 2007 which awarded a trophy to the best Canadian team in the USL First Division based on regular season results. The Voyageurs Cup trophy is now awarded to the Canadian Championship winner.
