After their best-ever MLS season, the Whitecaps will be aiming for another strong campaign in 2026. The season kicks off this weekend at BC Place against Real Salt Lake. #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2026/02/20/m...

The grades are in! As the Vancouver Whitecaps gear up for their MLS opener, we take a look back at their start to CONCACAF action. Who stood out to you? #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2026/02/19/r...

It was a classic Concacaf outing, as the Whitecaps opened 2026 with a scoreless draw in Costa Rica. We break it down in the latest Post Match. #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2026/02/18/p...

One extra thought on this one. When the Whitecaps are at their best, Brian White is on the ball in the buildup, and he was very quiet tonight. Would've liked to see him have more touches with so much possession. #VWFC

FT Thoughts: -Solid showing, just couldn't find a goal. -No harm done, still a decent result in tough conditions. -Cabrera & Berhalter the biggest standouts. Tate was good as well. -Will be interesting to see how this compares to the setup this weekend. #VWFC

Why did I just see a Buffalo Bills Kelvin Benjamin jersey in the crowd, lol? #VWFC

Not much to say about this second half so far, Vancouver was very good at breaking teams down in the last 15 mins last year. #VWFC

I still find it odd that the Whitecaps have a player opposing fanbases are excited to see. #VWFC

HT Thoughts: -Caps started strong, some quality play on the ball. -Typical CONCACAF after that, pretty cagey without too much flow. -Cabrera, Badwal, Berhalter with some solid moments. #VWFC

Cartaginés doing a better job with Vancouver's press in the last ten minutes, but still not able to convert that into quality looks at goal. #VWFC

Nice to be reminded early on that this Whitecaps team under Sørensen plays some very good football to watch. Sharp passing, lots of off-ball movement, working spaces between lines. #VWFC

The pitch looks terrible but the Whitecaps have been sharp on the ball so far. #VWFC

Underway in Costa Rica! #VWFC

Here we go! This year feels a bit different for these Whitecaps, the expectations are very high. Always fun to start with Concacaf action. #VWFC

Badwal at the ten? Very interesting. Pretty strong XI overall. Excited to get the season going here! #VWFC

We’re back! The Vancouver Whitecaps return to match action tomorrow night as they kick off their continental campaign in Costa Rica. #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2026/02/17/m...

With so many recent conversations about the club’s financial viability, we take a look at the Whitecaps’ player transfer history since Alphonso Davies. Do they make money selling players, or is it an endless money pit? #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2026/02/12/a...

BC Premier David Eby was on CKNW’s Jas Johal Show today talking #VWFC Is this short-term deal a “little step” that’s genuinely enough to keep the #Whitecaps in Vancouver long term or is this about buying time here?

So, after a week of stadium talk and today’s presser, it feels like we’ve heard all this before: Whitecaps need their own stadium as soon as possible, BC Place is a non-ideal stopgap, and no shovels = no buyer who’ll keep the club in Vancouver. Am I wrong? #VWFC

The Whitecaps add another intriguing attacking option with a proven resume from France. Where does Cheikh Sabaly fit into Vancouver’s plans? We take a look. #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2026/02/05/d...

Fulltime at Willoughby. A good fight from VFC in the second half, including a Norman Jr bicycle kick attempt and a penalty shout. Ultimately though, a clinical performance from Cruz Azul. 3-0. #ConcaChampions

We're back! The year starts, as it did last year, with some CONCACAF action at a CPL venue. Last year, Cavalry put on a memorable showing against Pumas. Can VFC pull off something similar tonight against Cruz Azul? A very tall task! #ConcaChampions

Thoughts on the stadium situation, Axel Schuster’s update, and what’s next for the club in Vancouver. #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2026/01/31/v...

A very busy day for Whitecaps news! Will have more detailed thoughts on the stadium situation up on the site tomorrow. For now, looking forward to the new additions and the season ahead! ⚽ #VWFC

A double dose of Deep Dives on a Friday. AZ might look like a natural Jayden Nelson replacement, but our own @wilkinscaleb.bsky.social breaks down how the young American brings something different from Vancouver’s other recent attacking additions. #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2026/01/30/d...

Axel Schuster speaking very honestly. Despite reaching multiple major finals in '25, the club was dead last in MLS in terms of revenue. 30+ prospective owners have looked at the club, but none are interested in buying the team with the current setup. #VWFC

Will be very interesting to hear from Axel Schuster on this in just under an hour. That said, pretty concerning update, both for cup matches this year and for the 2-5 year outlook in Vancouver. Empire Field 2.0? #VWFC

A busy day in Whitecaps land! AZ analysis will be dropping later today. #VWFC

The Whitecaps have made their first major acquisition of the off-season, bringing in South American winger Bruno Caicedo under a U-22 Initiative slot. What will he bring to Vancouver? We take a look. #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2026/01/30/d...

An interesting play from the Whitecaps. Though Jackson has played more centrally, I imagine the intent here would be to fill the Ahmed/Nelson role, especially without Gauld in the mix for a couple of months. Can Sørensen get the most out of another young attacker? #VWFC

I think one of the biggest questions looming over this season is if Gauld can stay healthy, especially with Ahmed and Nelson out the door. If this surgery helps provide that clarity, it's worth the short term pain. #VWFC

Some quick thoughts on Vancouver's first friendly. -Conditions were almost unplayable, hard to see much technically or tactically. -Berhalter showing off his class and service. -Priso continuing to look very comfortable at CB. #VWFC youtu.be/HHw_zrz5rwk?...

The Whitecaps will play five preseason matches in Spain. A busy slate for a busy season ahead. No live streams, according to the club, but highlight packages will be available after each match. #VWFC

The Vancouver Whitecaps have signed Oliver Larraz. What will the young American bring to the midfield, and what does it say about the team’s remaining priorities? We take a closer look. #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2026/01/19/d...

Larraz was one of the three players within the league that our @wilkinscaleb.bsky.social identified as a good fit for midfield depth (article linked below). Really like this for the Whitecaps, and should be pretty budget friendly. #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2025/12/31/v...

The Whitecaps are very young behind Brian White at striker heading into 2026. Is there a reliable veteran on the MLS market who could steady the position? #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2026/01/13/s...

After some recent moves, the Whitecaps have likely added a ball carrying winger to their offseason shopping list. With that in mind, we take a look at some potential targets on the global market. #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2026/01/09/s...

Ahmed and Nelson are gone. How will the Whitecaps replace them, and what does it mean for Vancouver’s 2026 roster? #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2026/01/05/w...

After the success of Cubas and Berhalter last season, the Whitecaps could look to add midfield depth, especially with potential movement looming. Our latest Sensible Whitecaps Transfers breaks down top ball-winning and progression targets. #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2025/12/31/v...

As we head into the new year, it’s time to look back at the start of the 2025 season and review our predictions. What did we get right, and what did we miss? #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2025/12/30/r...

Four new prospects are heading to Vancouver after this year’s MLS SuperDraft. We take a closer look at their stats and profiles in the latest Deep Dive. #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2025/12/18/d...

Not going to pretend to be an expert on the players the Whitecaps drafted today, but I like the emphasis on local universities with 3 of the 4 picks. #VWFC

The Whitecaps are getting quite a good haul back for Jayden Nelson. 1.25m GAM + 17th Superdraft pick. At 23, I still think there's a lot of potential there with the young Canadian, but if this indicates the club will be able to keep Ahmed, hard to complain. #VWFC

Who should the Whitecaps be targeting from the CPL? Our intrepid scout @wilkinscaleb.bsky.social breaks it down. #CanPL #VWFC

Offseasons always bring roster changes, and after a year as successful as Vancouver's, decisions get even tougher. Who should the Whitecaps lock in for 2026, and who is worth selling on? #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2025/12/10/t...

The grades are in! We take a look back at Vancouver's MLS Cup Final loss to Inter Miami this past weekend, with a focus on the individual performances. Who stood out to you? #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2025/12/08/r...

An incredible season for the Vancouver Whitecaps comes to an end with a 3-1 loss in the MLS Cup Final to Inter Miami. #VWFC thethirdsub.ca/2025/12/06/p...

FT Thoughts: -A good performance in many ways, but mistakes from Cubas and Ocampo the difference. -Sabbi double post will go down in history, big turning point. -Sørensen's adjustments will be a talking point, did not help the situation down the stretch. #VWFC

Fulltime in Miami. A wonderful season for the Whitecaps comes to an end in heartbreaking fashion. Vancouver were the better team for much of the match, but that's not always enough. In the end, a couple of key errors were the difference. #VWFC

Cubas looked like his controller disconnected there, completely unforced. Felt like the subs killed some momentum, completely against the run of play. 2-1 Miami. #VWFC
