In contrast to just about every other major soccer country in the world, the United States does not define its champion based on the regular season. Instead, the team that finishes with the best regular season record out of the entire 30 teams will come away with the Supporters' Shield. The Supporters' Shield isn't just a prestigious trophy it also guarantees you homefield advantage from the opening round of the MLS Cup playoffs all the way to the final.
