Vancouver Whitecaps FC have secured their third consecutive MLS Cup Playoffs appearance after a dominant 7-0 victory over Philadelphia Union, with six matches remaining in the season.

Under new head coach Jesper Sørensen, the Whitecaps are performing strongly, sitting near the top of the Western Conference with 52 points, a record of 15 wins, 6 losses, and 7 draws, and reaching the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup final.

The team bolstered their squad this summer by adding Bayern Munich legend Thomas Müller, aiming to strengthen their prospects for the upcoming MLS Cup.

Key players contributing to their success include captain Ryan Gauld, despite injury setbacks, striker Brian White with 14 goals, US national team call-ups for Sebastian Berhalter and Tristan Blackmon, and goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka leading MLS with 12 clean sheets.

The 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs are set to begin on October 22 with Wild Card matches, culminating in the final scheduled for December 6, with all games available on MLS Season Pass via Apple TV.
