The Vancouver Whitecaps made history on Saturday, and they didn't even have to set foot on the pitch.
Vancouver clinched first place in the Western Conference after second-place Dallas FC played to a 1-1 draw with Sporting KC on Saturday.
It's the first time in franchise history that the Whitecaps have finished first in the West.
Not only does finishing first assure the Whitecaps home-field advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs, but it also books them a spot in the 2027 Concacaf Champions Cup.
The Whitecaps will open the MLS playoffs on Nov. 23 at BC Place against whichever team advances out of the single-elimination wild-card round.
Vancouver will close out its regular-season schedule on Sunday in Seattle against the Sounders.
