The 2025 Vancouver Whitecaps FC season is the club's fifteenth season in Major League Soccer, the top division of soccer in the United States and Canada.

Having won the 2024 Canadian Championship, the Whitecaps participated in the CONCACAF Champions Cup for a third consecutive season and fifth time overall. The club advanced to the final, where they were defeated by Liga MX side Cruz Azul, finishing as runner-up. [1] The Whitecaps are also participating in the 2025 Canadian Championship, looking to win their fourth domestic cup championship in a row. On January 28, MLS announced that all teams would participate in at least one but no more than two cup competitions. Due to their participation in the Canadian Championship and CONCACAF Champions Cup, the Whitecaps did not participate in the 2025 Leagues Cup. [2]

On November 25, 2024, the Whitecaps parted ways with head coach Vanni Sartini. [3] On January 14, 2025, the Whitecaps announced that they had hired Jesper Sørensen as their new head coach. [4]
