Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) total wins; 3) total goal differential; 4) total goals scored; 5) disciplinary points; 6) away goals scored; 7) away goal differential; 8) home goals scored; 9) home goal differential; 10) coin toss or drawing of lots
Notes:

1. Since Montreal Impact is a Canadian team, the 2017–18 CONCACAF Champions League berth given to the Eastern Conference team with the best record would instead pass to the next best American team regardless of conference (in this case, Real Salt Lake).

     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 ;

     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.
