The Canadian Championship 2013 (officially: Amway Canadian Championship ) is a soccer tournament which is organized by the Canadian Soccer Association and serves to determine the Canadian participants in the CONCACAF Champions League 2013/14 .

The field of participants consisted of the Canadian clubs Toronto FC , Vancouver Whitecaps and Montreal Impact from Major League Soccer and FC Edmonton , which plays in the North American Soccer League .

As in the previous year, the tournament was held in knockout mode with semi-finals and finals. The seed numbers were assigned after the previous year's placement in the MLS (1, 2 and 3). Edmonton FC is seeded at number 4. The matches are played back and forth, with the better seeded team having home rights in the second leg or in the final, in which of the two games it exercises home rights.

The first legs of the semi-finals took place on April 24th and May 1st. The finals were held on May 14th and May 29th. Montreal won the final against Vancouver 0-0 (in Montreal) and 2-2 (in Vancouver).
