It was contested over two legs between the winners of the spring and fall seasons, with the fall season winners choosing which leg to host. Since Cavalry won both split seasons, the team with the second-best overall season record, Forge, also competed in the Championship.
Forge won the inaugural Canadian Premier League title 2–0 on aggregate following a pair of 1–0 victories. This earned the club the right to compete in the 2020 CONCACAF League where they ultimately reached the quarter-finals.
