How Did the Whitecaps Perform in 2023?

The Vancouver Whitecaps FC finished the 2023 season with 48 points from 12 wins, 12 draws, and 10 losses. They scored 55 goals while conceding 48. Their attacking play was a bright spot throughout the season, but inconsistent defensive performances often led to dropped points in key moments. However, their postseason ended in the first round after losing two out of three games in the series against Los Angeles FC.

In 2024, the Whitecaps are aiming to build on their prior campaign and remain competitive in the Western Conference, though challenges remain as they seek to solidify their upper-middle position in the standings.
