Vancouver FC News Release


Langley, BC - Vancouver will visit Pacific FC in the Preliminary Round of the 2025 TELUS Canadian Championship at Starlight Stadium in Langford, B.C. on Tuesday, May 6 at 7 p.m. PT.

Canada Soccer confirmed the schedule for the Preliminary Round of the annual "Battle of the North" on Tuesday, after the draw for the prestigious 2025 TELUS Canadian Championship took place in December 2024.

The match in May will mark the first time Vancouver will face Pacific 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 winners 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 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup.

The Eagles have a 5-0-3 record against the Tridents in eight all-time meetings in the CPL. The club is still looking for its first victory in TELUS Canadian Championship play after making its debut in the competition in 2023.

The 2025 TELUS Canadian Championship will for the first time include a 15-team field. The seven Preliminary Round winners will advance to the TELUS Canadian Championship Quarter-Final stage where they will be joined by last year's champions, Vancouver Whitecaps FC, who received a bye through the Preliminary Round. The Quarter-Finals will be played as a two-match home and away series in May and July.

The winner of the single-leg Preliminary Round matchup between Vancouver and Pacific will progress to take on either Cavalry FC or 2024 League1 Alberta Champions Edmonton Scottish in the two-legged Quarter-Final.

All TELUS Canadian Championship matches will be broadcast on OneSoccer, the dedicated home of soccer in Canada.
