The Dynamo qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the fourth consecutive year after finishing 2nd in the Western Conference during the regular season. In the playoffs, Houston defeated the Seattle Sounders FC 1–0 over two legs in the Conference Semifinals before losing 2–0 to the Los Angeles Galaxy in the Conference Final. In the U.S. Open Cup, the Dynamo reached the semifinals, where they lost 2–1 to the eventual champion Seattle Sounders. The Dynamo also competed in the CONCACAF Champions League, losing to Atlante 4–1 on aggregate in the quarterfinals of the 2008–09 Champions League while also finishing third in their group for the 2009–10 Champions League, failing to advance.
