U.S. Soccer Community Shield

[edit]

The U.S. Soccer Community Shield is an annual soccer competition in the United States that serves as a prelude to the Major League Soccer (MLS) season. Similar in format to other football competitions worldwide, such as the FA Community Shield in England and various other Supercups, the U.S. Soccer Community Shield brings together the champions of the previous MLS season's two prestigious tournaments—the MLS Cup and the U.S. Open Cup. Created by MLS fans, it is retroactively the match between the defending Open Cup and MLS Cup champion when they next play each other in a competitive match.

If a team wins both the MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup, the MLS Cup runner-up will play. If a Canadian club wins the MLS Cup, the MLS Cup runner-up will play. If the MLS Cup final is contested by two Canadian teams, the best American club by regular season record will represent the league.
