The MLS season begins Saturday for the Vancouver Whitecaps, and with that in mind (as is tradition), we rounded up our writing team to ponder some questions and make some predictions about the upcoming season. Without further ado, let’s dive right in. Where do you see the Vancouver Whitecaps finishing in the Western Conference this season, and if they reach the playoffs, how far will … Continue reading 2026 Vancouver Whitecaps Season Preview
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. However, there has been significant roster turnover, so perhaps this new group can provide the spark that was missing for long stretches, particularly … Continue reading Guess the Starting XI – Match One vs. Real Salt Lake
Wednesday night at Estadio Jose Rafael Meza, the Vancouver Whitecaps played out a scoreless draw against C.S. Cartaginés to open their 2026 competitive calendar with some continental action. As is typical in these early Concacaf rounds, Cartaginés came in with a clear and disciplined plan. They were prepared to sit deep, defend in numbers, and absorb waves of Vancouver pressure with a compact defensive block. … Continue reading Post Match: A Typical Night in Costa Rica
Welcome back, everyone! Whitecaps action is back for 2026, starting with a CONCACAF tie down in Costa Rica against C.S. Cartaginés. The hosts are currently second in the Clausura table and finished third in the Apertura, so this is a side in solid form and well into their season, rather than just getting started. They’re also a low-scoring team with strong defensive numbers, so expect … Continue reading Guess the Starting XI – Champions Cup vs. C.S. Cartaginés
On a Friday where the Vancouver Whitecaps signed two new players and re-signed another, somehow, those moves were a secondary story to the main event of the day. As the Whitecaps continue their pre-season in Spain, and the start of competitive matches is just a couple of weeks away, an email hit the inbox announcing that Axel Schuster would be available to media at UBC … Continue reading Vancouver Whitecaps: No Stadium, Big Problem?
Welcome back, everyone. The Vancouver Whitecaps came up one match short of the promised land this season, bowing out in the MLS Cup Final to Inter Miami. Despite the frustrating ending, it was a wonderful season of football in Vancouver, and I hope you enjoyed the highs and lows along the way as much as I did. With that said, it’s time to get down … Continue reading Guess the Starting XI – End of Year Awards
Saturday in Florida, the Vancouver Whitecaps contested their first ever MLS Cup Final, as they fell by a final score of 3-1 to Inter Miami. The final score only tells a very small part of the story, as this was a match that was incredibly entertaining and well contested throughout, and it was only when Miami scored an insurance marker deep into extra time that … Continue reading Report Card: Cup Final Blues
Welcome back, everyone. This is it, one more match. The Vancouver Whitecaps are in Miami this weekend to contest their first ever MLS Cup Final against Inter Miami. There should not be too many surprises when it comes to the lineup; however, Tristan Blackmon is back from suspension, so there might be one change along the backline. How will Jesper handle it? We will have … Continue reading Guess the Starting XI – MLS Cup Final
Saturday night, the top two seeds in the Western Conference will fight it out for a spot in the MLS Cup Final on December 6th. For Vancouver, this has been over 10 years in the making.
