The future of the Vancouver Whitecaps is under review, with Major League Soccer discussing a possible transfer.
According to a report from The Athletic, the league committee met earlier this month to consider options, with Las Vegas emerging as the leading candidate for a relocation.
The report states that MLS has already held discussions with a group interested in bringing a team to Nevada City.
The Whitecaps have been up for sale for over a year, while their lease at BC Place is set to expire at the end of 2026.
In a statement to The Athletic, the club said: “Through December 2024, ownership has prioritized finding a committed buyer to retain the team in Vancouver, and to date, no solution has been found.”
Efforts are underway to secure a long-term future for Vancouver. The club and the city signed a memorandum of understanding in December 2025 to negotiate a potential new stadium at Hastings Park.
Mayor Ken Sim said at the time: “This Memorandum of Understanding reflects the strong commitment of both the City and the Whitecaps to move forward work toward a new stadium in Vancouver.”
