The 2024 Canadian Championship (French: Championnat canadien 2024) was the seventeenth edition of the Canadian Championship, the premier men's domestic cup competition in Canadian soccer, and the 23rd competition staged to determine the winner of the Voyageurs Cup. It featured all eleven professional men's soccer teams in Canada, from Major League Soccer and the Canadian Premier League, along with the champions of the three semi-professional League1 Canada competitions. This tournament marked the first Voyageurs Cup campaign for CS Saint-Laurent and Simcoe County Rovers FC. Victoria Highlanders FC had also qualified as the League1 British Columbia regular season winners but withdrew before the start of the tournament; they were replaced by TSS Rovers FC.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC earned their third consecutive title after defeating Toronto FC on penalties following a scoreless draw in the final, held at BC Place in Vancouver.[1] As winners, they qualified for the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup.

Broadcasting rights

OneSoccer, a Canadian video streaming service owned by Mediapro, had been the Canadian Championship's broadcaster in recent editions of the tournament.[15][16] This status was put into doubt on January 25, 2024 when Canadian Soccer Business launched legal action against Mediapro, taking back the broadcast rights of several properties including the Canadian Championship.[17] However, on April 2, OneSoccer began promoting a "2024 Season Pass" that included "exclusive access" to the Canadian Championship, suggesting a breakthrough had been reached.[18] The following day, Canadian Soccer Business issued a statement saying that they and Mediapro were "on a positive path toward resolving our differences and expect to come to a finalized agreement in the near future".[18]
