The following are playoff scenarios for Matchweek 23 of the Canadian Premier League (CPL), to be contested between Thursday, Sept. 11 to Sunday, Sept. 14.
Cavalry FC is the only team that can clinch a berth in the 2025 CPL Playoffs during Matchweek 23. The club will clinch a playoff berth if:
- Cavalry FC beat Halifax Wanderers FC on Saturday, Sept. 13 AND Pacific FC lose against Vancouver FC on Saturday, Sept. 13 AND Valour FC draw or lose against Forge FC on Thursday, Sept. 11.
The top five teams at the end of the regular season will advance to the 2025 CPL Playoffs, which will be contested in the same format as was introduced by the League in 2023. Earlier this week, the Canadian Premier League unveiled its “Rise to the North” campaign — a rallying cry that defines the final stretch of the season, from the decisive run-in to the playoffs to one club lifting the North Star Cup at the marquee CPL Final.
