Cavalry FC News Release


Calgary, AB - Cavalry FC will travel to Starlight Stadium to face fellow Canadian Premier League (CPL) side Pacific FC in the Preliminary Round of the 2026 TELUS Canadian Championship.

Canada Soccer confirmed the draw results for the preliminary round of the annual "Battle of the North" on Saturday, after the draw for the prestigious 2026 TELUS Canadian Championship took place during the Men's National Team Friendly against Guatemala.

Cavalry has competed annually in the TELUS Canadian Championship - which sees the top men's professional clubs from the Canadian Premier League (CPL) and Major League Soccer (MLS) as well as the champions of Ligue1 Québec, League1 Ontario, League1 Alberta and League1 BC compete to be named Canadian Champions, lift the Voyageurs Cup and earn a berth in the 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup. The Cavs made their deepest run in the competition in 2019, when the squad reached the semi-final round.

The seven preliminary round winners will advance to the TELUS Canadian Championship quarterfinal stage where they will be joined by last year's champions, Vancouver Whitecaps FC, who received a bye through the preliminary round. The quarterfinals will be played as a two-match home and away series in July.

The winner of the single-leg preliminary round matchup between Cavalry and Pacific will progress to take on Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the quarterfinal.

All TELUS Canadian Championship matches will be broadcast on OneSoccer, the dedicated home of soccer in Canada. OneSoccer is available in 35 countries as an affordable streaming service through the OneSoccer.ca website, via Roku, Chromecast and Apple TV devices and with the OneSoccer app for iOS and Android devices. It is also available as a linear channel on Optik TV (Ch. 980), the pay-TV service operated by TELUS, as well as on streaming service fuboTV Canada.

The TELUS Canadian Championship has long been one of the most anticipated events in the country's soccer calendar, and this year promises to deliver intense and exciting matches. Fans across Canada will be treated to fierce competition as teams look to claim the coveted title.
