The Vancouver Whitecaps play their home games at BC Place.
Despite the team being among the MLS betting favourites this year, there is uncertainty over the franchise’s future in Vancouver.
How Many Seats Are in BC Place for Whitecaps Soccer?
BC Place has a total capacity of 54,500.
The stadium’s capacity for Whitecaps matches is usually around 22,000, however. For most fixtures, only the lower bowl is opened.
What’s the Average Attendance at Whitecaps Games?
The average Whitecaps attendance in 2026 is 24,189.
Among all MLS teams, Vancouver ranks 10th in average attendance this season.
Where Is the New Whitecaps Stadium in Vancouver?
The Whitecaps have not confirmed a new stadium in Vancouver. In December 2025, the Whitecaps signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the city of Vancouver to enter an exclusive negotiation period through 2026.
The aim was to explore a new stadium and entertainment district in Hastings Park. At the time of writing, there hasn’t been an update on a new Whitecaps stadium in Vancouver.
Relocation is a realistic possibility with Whitecaps’ ownership looking to sell the team and their BC Place lease expiring at the end of 2026.
Las Vegas and Phoenix are potential destinations if the Whitecaps relocate.
Why Are the Vancouver Whitecaps Moving?
The current lease at BC Place is unsustainable due to restrictions on soccer scheduling and limited revenue from food and drink vendors.
It is possible the Whitecaps will leave Vancouver permanently.
