- Winner of the 2014 MLS Cup (Pot A) 2
- Regular Season Conference Winner that is not the Supporters' Shield Champion (Pot B) 3
- Winner of the 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (Pot B) 4
- 5 If the same team qualifies multiple times and/or if a Canadian team occupies one or more of the MLS qualifying places, then the American MLS team(s) with the best regular-season record not otherwise qualified are entered.
- 6 For this season only, the highest placed Canadian team will be awarded Canada's place in the 2015–16 CONCACAF Champions League, as a result of the rescheduling of the Canadian Championship in 2015.[61]
