This will be the third consecutive year that Vancouver and LAFC meet in the MLS Cup Playoffs, and the first showdown since the arrivals of Thomas Müller in Vancouver and Son Heung-Min in Los Angeles. The two Western Conference rivals have faced each other 14 times over the past three years across all competitions.

The 'Caps won this year's season series, drawing 2-2 on Sunday Night Soccer on May 11 at BC Place before earning a 1-0 road win at BMO Stadium on June 29. In last year's playoff meeting at BC Place, Vancouver triumphed 3-0 in front of a raucous home crowd.

Several familiar faces connect the two clubs, including Whitecaps FC defender and 2025 MLS Defender of the Year Tristan Blackmon, who began his career with LAFC. On the opposing side, LAFC assistant coach Marc Dos Santos managed the 'Caps from 2019 to 2021 and LAFC midfielder Ryan Raposo played in Vancouver from 2020 to 2024.
