The season began on April 1 and concluded with [[MLS Cup 2006|MLS Cup]] on November 12. The 12 teams were split evenly into two conferences. Each team played 32 games that were evenly divided between home and away. Each team played every other team in their conference four times, and every team in the opposite conference twice.

!width="25"|GD
The top four teams from each conference qualified for the [[MLS Cup Playoffs]]. In the first round, aggregate goals over two matches determined the winners. The conference finals were played as a single match, and the winners advanced to [[MLS Cup 2006|MLS Cup]]. In all rounds, draws were broken with two 15-minute periods of extra time, followed by penalty kicks if necessary. The [[away goals rule]] was not used in any round.
