Whitecaps FC 2019 schedule released

January 7th, 2019

The MLS has released the 2019 season schedule, with Whitecaps FC kicking off the regular season at home against Minnesota United FC on Saturday, March 2nd.

The 2019 season features a special 40th anniversary match to celebrate Vancouver’s 1979 NASL Soccer Bowl championship, Cascadia Cup home fixtures in March and May, an all-Canadian tilt prior to the Concacaf Gold Cup break, and four of the last five games at BC Place.

To celebrate Vancouver’s 1979 NASL Soccer Bowl triumph, one of the greatest moments in Vancouver sports history, Whitecaps FC will host an anniversary match on August 31 against New York City FC – which falls almost 40 years to the day the ‘Caps defeated New York Cosmos in a memorable, two-leg semifinal series culminating at Giants Stadium.
