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.

the rental lease has been signed for 2026 and there are improvements known (food and drink revenues upgrade) and still to be made or be made public to make the Caps more sustainable for multiple years (Stadium naming rights and ???)
the bigger question is- where will the Caps final Stadium digs be- BC Place or Hastings Park North? i never considered the former, but my friend said there might be an opportunity for that to happen- when that part is unknown, then we will see who the new investors are (alongwith the original, Greg Kerfoot)- saw an article about cristy clark and carlo angelotti sniffing around- after getting Muller, anything seems possible
at the end of 2026, all or most will be known

Exactly fans might be hyped, but if BC Place issues linger, the team could struggle under pressure.
True, transfers are exciting, but the stadium situation could affect their home game performance.
Whitecaps are on fire with all these new signings, but the BC Place deal still feels shaky.
Yeah, makes me wonder if betting on their season outcomes is worth it almost like checking VIP odds at https://roobet.com/vip
