Vancouver FC is set to open its 2026 Canadian Premier League season at home this Saturday, April 4 at 4:00 PM, with an exciting matchup against Halifax Wanderers FC at Willoughby Stadium.

The home opener will feature a coast-to-coast clash, highlighted by the return of former Whitecaps FC head coach Vanni Sartini, now leading Halifax. With strong storylines on the pitch and a full slate of pre-game and halftime entertainment, the event is shaping up to be one of the biggest game days at Willoughby to date.

At halftime, Canadian artist Jojo Mason will take the stage to keep the energy high heading into the second half.
