The 2014 Canadian Championship (officially the Amway Canadian Championship for sponsorship reasons) is a soccer tournament hosted and organized by the Canadian Soccer Association that will take place in the cities of Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver in 2014. For the first time in the history of the tournament, the Ottawa Fury FC will be participating in addition to FC Edmonton, Montreal Impact, Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC. The winner awarded the Voyageurs Cup will become Canada's entry into the Group Stage of the 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League. It will be the seventh edition of the annual Canadian Championship.[1]

Matches

Bracket

The three Major League Soccer and two NASL Canadian clubs have been seeded according to their final position in 2013 league play, with both NASL clubs playing in the preliminary round, the winner of which advances to the semifinals.

All rounds of the competition are played via a two leg home and away knock-out format. The higher seeded team has the option of deciding which leg it plays at home, usually the second leg. The team which scores the greater aggregate of goals in the two matches advances. As previous years, the team that comes on top on aggregate for the two matches is declared champion and earns the right to represent Canada in the 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League.[1]

Each round is a two-game aggregate goal series with the away goals rule.
