This article lists active Canadian professional soccer clubs whose men's sides have won competitive honours run by official governing bodies. Friendly competitions and matches organized between clubs are not included. A significant number of Canadian clubs have participated and continue to participate in leagues sanctioned by American authorities.

The first official title won by an active Canadian professional soccer club was claimed by the Vancouver Whitecaps, who were crowned 1979 NASL champions after defeating the Tampa Bay Rowdies 2–1 in Soccer Bowl '79.[1] From there, Canadian teams began playing in multiple different American and Canadian leagues, including the original Canadian Soccer League (1987–1992), the American Professional Soccer League (1990–1996), the USL First Division (2005–2010), Major League Soccer (1996–present), and finally, the Canadian Premier League (2019–present).

As of 2024, three Canadian professional clubs play in the U.S.-sanctioned Major League Soccer, while the other eight play in the Canadian Premier League.

  1. If regular season titles were awarded during the CSL, APSL, and USL A-League, the Vancouver Whitecaps would have accumulated 6 titles.
  2. Despite the Voyageurs Cup from 2002 to 2007 being recognized as the official precursor to the Canadian Championship by CF Montréal, the Vancouver Whitecaps and Major League Soccer (MLS),[2][3][4][5][6] Canada Soccer does not and has never recognized them. For that reason, CF Montréal are shown as having only won 5 titles in this section instead of 11.
  3. If regular season titles were awarded during the APSL, USL A-League and USL-1 era, CF Montréal would have accumulated 5 titles.
  4. Cavalry (2019), Forge FC (2021) and Atlético Ottawa (2022) were retroactively awarded the CPL Shield as CPL regular season winners.
