Of the seven previous finalists, Seattle became the first MLS club to capture the CCC title. They won the 2022 final 5-2 on aggregate over Mexican side Pumas UNAM.

Now, Vancouver will look to add a second CCC trophy to the MLS cabinet. They'll face either LIGA MX's Cruz Azul or Tigres UANL in the June 1 final, with the time and location to be determined.

The CCC winner earns prize money and a spot in both the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2025 Intercontinental Cup.

Vancouver's epic run

  • Round One: 3-2 aggregate vs. Deportivo Saprissa (Costa Rica)
  • Round of 16: 3-3 aggregate vs. CF Monterrey (Mexico)
  • Quarterfinals: 3-3 aggregate vs. Pumas UNAM (Mexico)
  • Semifinals: 5-1 aggregate vs. Inter Miami CF

The Whitecaps, who are in their first season under head coach Jesper Sørensen, lead the MLS Supporters' Shield standings and have made the club's first-ever CCC final.
