Whitecaps FC arrive in the final after defeating Valour FC in the preliminary round, winning at Cavalry FC in the quarterfinals, and against York United FC in the semifinals. Toronto FC entered in the quarterfinals and won at HFX Wanderers FC before taking down CF Montréal in the semifinals.
This will be the fifth time that Whitecaps FC and Toronto FC meet in the Canadian Championship Final, and the first time in the single game format. The most recent meeting came in 2018, where after a 2-2 draw at BC Place, Toronto FC took the second leg 5-2 at BMO Field.
The 2022 final will mark the fourth time that the Voyageurs Cup is lifted at BC Place. The last time that the Voyageurs Cup was decided at BC Place was in 2016. Toronto FC took the first leg 1-0 at BMO Field, but the defending champion ‘Caps led 2-0 late in the second leg at home, and 2-1 on aggregate. However a goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time gave TFC the victory on the away goals rule.
