     1. The winner of the MLS Cup 2016;
        
     2. The winner of the Supporters' Shield;
        
     3. The regular season conference champion that did not win the Supporters' Shield ;

     Each qualifier is placed in Pot 3, along with the four Mexican qualifiers. Should a team qualify through more than one method, or should a team from Canada occupy any MLS qualifying place, the next best US team in the overall table would take its place.
     One Canada-based team qualifies for the Champions League (NOTE: Canadian teams cannot qualify through MLS):
     1. The winner of the 2016 Canadian Championship
        
     They are placed in Pot 1, along with the three Caribbean qualifiers, the two qualifiers from El Salvador, and one qualifier each from Belize and Nicaragua.

Player transfers

Allocation ranking

The allocation ranking is the mechanism used to determine which MLS club has first priority to acquire a player who is in MLS allocation list. MLS allocation list contains select U.S. National Team players and players transferred outside of MLS garnering transfer fee of at least $500,000. The allocations will be ranked in reverse order of finish for the 2015 season, taking playoff performance into account.^[42]

Once the club uses its allocation ranking to acquire a player, it drops to the bottom of the list. A ranking can be traded provided that part of the compensation received in return is another club’s ranking. At all times each club is assigned one ranking. The rankings reset at the end of each MLS season.
