Vancouver Whitecaps FC will look to set a new MLS club record home unbeaten streak this coming Saturday when they host LA Galaxy at BC Place (7 p.m. PT kickoff). Tickets remain available at ticketmaster.ca/whitecapsfc.
The ‘Caps have not been beaten in their last 10 MLS home matches dating back to 2017, including playoffs. That ties their longest home streak of the MLS era, and is also tied as the longest current streak in MLS.
