Match preview
The Cascadia rivalry is back on the continental stage, and it’s got some history behind it. Vancouver Whitecaps and Seattle Sounders last crossed paths in the CONCACAF Champions Cup a decade ago, with Seattle taking a win and a draw in the 2015/16 Group Stage. Now, they meet again - this time in the Round of 16.
Seattle enters fresh off their 2025 Leagues Cup triumph, aiming to add a second Champions Cup title to their resume after lifting the trophy in 2022. Veteran captain Cristian Roldan leads the charge, determined to push the Sounders past the hurdle that tripped them last year, when Cruz Azul knocked them out at this very stage.
Vancouver, meanwhile, earned their spot with a confident 2–0 aggregate win over CS Cartaginés, thanks to goals from Kenji Cabrera and Sebastian Berhalter. With veteran German forward Thomas Müller in the mix, the Whitecaps are looking to channel the magic of last season’s run to their first Champions Cup Final, where they finished as runners-up.
It’s a clash of ambition and rivalry: Seattle chasing redemption and another title, Vancouver chasing momentum and a breakthrough. And with BC Place set to host the first leg, expect the atmosphere to be electric.

Muller: The player to watch
No real surprises here - one of the generation’s greatest players continues to defy time, thriving at 36 and embracing what is now his first full season in Vancouver. The Bayern Munich icon and German national team legend has seamlessly transitioned into life as a Whitecap, delivering the kind of quality that defined his career in Europe.
Since arriving last summer as a Designated Player, he’s already racked up 11 goals and three assists across roughly 1,300 minutes in all competitions, a return that speaks not only to his enduring class but also to the impact he’s had on Vancouver’s attack. For supporters, it’s been a thrill to watch a world‑renowned star bring his trademark vision, timing, and finishing touch to BC Place, proving that even deep into his thirties, he remains a difference‑maker.

How to watch on the Big Screen
Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:
- Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
- Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
