There was an eight-team playoff, where the top finisher in each division qualified, along with the next two top finishers in each conference. Seeding within each conference was based on conference standings, regardless of being division champions.{{cite web|url=https://www.mlsnextpro.com/news/mls-next-pro-playoffs-format-and-schedule-announced |title=MLS NEXT Pro Playoffs Format and Schedule Announced |website=MLS Next Pro |access-date=September 14, 2022 |date=September 14, 2022}}
