Vancouver Whitecaps FC is a Canadian professional soccer team based in Vancouver. They compete in Major League Soccer (MLS) as a member club of the league's Western Conference. They were established on March 18, 2009, and began to play in 2011 as the 17th team to enter Major League Soccer and replaced the USSF Division 2 team of the same name in the city.

The MLS version of the team is a phoenix club, and the third to carry the Whitecaps name. In the 2012 season, the team became the first Canadian team to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs.
