Vancouver Whitecaps to play MLS sprint season at BC Place after extending lease
The club says the lease extension will support ticket sales while it keeps working on a longer-term stadium solution.
- The Vancouver Whitecaps began selling tickets for the 2027 "sprint season" on Tuesday after extending their lease at BC Place through the condensed campaign.
- Revenue generation remains limited because the club does not own BC Place, a 55,000-seat venue operated by provincial Crown corporation PavCo, constraining the team's financial growth.
- Renovations ahead of the FIFA World Cup introduced premium sections including the "Tunnel Club" and "Creekside Terrace," offering "all-inclusive premium hospitality experience." Some season ticket members face price increases for these converted seats.
- Star midfielder Thomas Muller signed a contract extension through the sprint season, though uncertainty remains regarding his future and the club's trajectory beyond 2027.
- The condensed campaign features each of the league's 30 teams playing a 14-game regular season before single-elimination playoffs, positioning the Whitecaps for a critical transition year before MLS's summer-to-spring calendar shift in July 2027.
