More Details

Both teams are making their debut appearance in the championship match, guaranteeing a first-time winner for the league’s 30th season.

Notably, this is a rematch of the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup semifinals held in April, which saw the Whitecaps dominate and advance with a 5-1 aggregate score.

Inter Miami

Inter Miami has been exceptionally dominant in the current postseason, defeating their opponents by a significant 17-4 aggregate score.

This success is largely fueled by Lionel Messi, who set a new playoff record with 13 goal contributions (6 goals and 7 assists). This follows his outstanding regular season where he secured the 2025 MLS Golden Boot with 29 goals and 19 assists.

Furthermore, Tadeo Allende has been a major scoring threat, matching Carlos Ruiz’s single-season playoff record with eight goals. Since Messi’s arrival in July 2023, the club has already secured the 2023 Leagues Cup and the 2024 Supporters’ Shield.

Vancouver Whitecaps

The Canadian-based team had a historic and successful 2025 season, achieving a club-best 63 regular-season points. In addition to securing their fourth consecutive Canadian Championship title, they also reached the final of the Concacaf Champions Cup.

This run of form, which was greatly accelerated by the mid-season arrival of football legend Thomas Müller (9 goals, 4 assists in 12 matches), marked a phenomenal first year for head coach Jesper Sørensen.
