Post Match: Finding Their Feet
Wednesday night at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps secured a 2–0 result against C.S. Cartaginés to advance to the next round in CONCACAF, where they will face the Seattle Sounders.

Report Card: AZ Does It
Saturday night at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps began their MLS season with a rather nervy 1-0 win over a depleted Real Salt Lake side. While Jesper Sørensen’s team have not come sprinting out of the blocks to start 2026, they have kept back-to-back clean sheets and were quite clearly the better side in both matches they have played. They have also done this while … Continue reading Report Card: AZ Does It

Guess the Starting XI – Match One vs. Real Salt Lake
Welcome back, everyone. The Vancouver Whitecaps return to MLS action this weekend with their home opener, as they host Real Salt Lake in a Western Conference matchup. RSL finished ninth in the West last season and were not the most impressive side.
