The Third Sub Episode 259: Signings galore for Whitecaps, but is it time to worry about BC Place deal?

In Episode 259 of the Third Sub Podcast, Alexandre Gangue-Ruzic and Samuel Rowan dive into a busy few weeks for the Vancouver Whitecaps and Vancouver FC. 

Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub Podcast!

In this episode, Alex and Sam are back, as usual, this time to chat about all things Vancouver Whitecaps and Vancouver FC!

To begin, they dive into the latest out of the Whitecaps, who have made some signings as they continue to prepare for the 2026 season.

They look at what to expect from those signings, Oliver Larraz, Bruno Caicedo and Aziel Jackson, who appear to fill key needs for the Whitecaps – who don’t look to be done making moves, either (especially after Ryan Gauld’s injury).

After that, they take a quick look at how the Whitecaps preseason has gone so far, before diving into the big ‘Caps news of the show – that their ongoing negotiations with BC Place aren’t going too great. Could that spell disaster for a Whitecaps team that is hoping to soon build their own stadium? Things aren’t so clear…

Lastly, they finish with some chat about the Canadian Premier League’s new logo and League 1 rebrand, before previewing Vancouver FC’s upcoming Concacaf Champions Cup tie against Liga MX giants Cruz Azul.
