The '''2016 MLS Cup Playoffs''' (branded as the '''2016 [[Audi]] MLS Cup Playoffs''' for sponsorship reasons) began on October 26, and will end on December 10 with [[MLS Cup 2016]], the 21st league championship match for MLS.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/09/06/mls-announces-broadcast-schedule-format-audi-2016-mls-cup-playoffs|title=MLS announces broadcast schedule, format for Audi 2016 MLS Cup Playoffs|publisher=[[Major League Soccer]]|accessdate=September 25, 2016|date=September 6, 2016}}</ref> This is the 21st version of the [[MLS Cup Playoffs]], the tournament culminating the [[Major League Soccer]] regular season.
Twelve teams (the top 6 per conference) compete. The first round of each conference has the third-seeded team hosting the sixth seed while the fourth-seed hosts the fifth in a single match to determine who advances to the Conference Semifinals. In the Conference Semifinals, the top seed plays the lowest remaining seed while the second plays the next-lowest. The winners advance to the Conference Finals. Both the Conference Semifinals and Conference Finals are played as two-legged aggregate series. The winners advance to the MLS Cup, a single match hosted by the participant with the better record.
Ordinarily, the winner of MLS Cup 2016 would qualify for the [[2017–18 CONCACAF Champions League]]. However, [[Toronto FC]] have already qualified through the [[2016 Canadian Championship]], and as a Canada-based team they would not be permitted to qualify through MLS in any event.<ref>{{citeweb|url=http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/Whitecaps+face+fine+balancing+settling+Voyageurs+lineup/11314360/story.html|title=Whitecaps face fine balancing act in settling on Voyageurs Cup lineup|last1=Kingston|first1=Gary|date=August 25, 2015|publisher=Vancouver Sun|accessdate=September 1, 2015}}</ref> Should Toronto FC win the MLS Cup, that qualification place will pass to [[New York City FC]] (the highest-ranked U.S. team in the [[2016 Major League Soccer season#Overall table|overall regular season table]] not already qualified).
It will be the first time in the league's history that a Canadian MLS team will compete in the MLS Cup.
