An MLS owners committee discussed the Vancouver Whitecaps' future, with Las Vegas identified as the leading relocation option, though MLS has also explored other markets such as Phoenix, Sacramento and Indianapolis. No relocation decision has been made and any move would require MLS approval and a relocation fee. The Whitecaps remain focused on an in-market stadium solution amid an ongoing sale and a 2026 exclusive negotiating MoU with the city, while fans push a 'Save The Caps' movement to keep the club in Vancouver, which has enjoyed on-field success despite off-field challenges.

While intended to benefit smaller clubs and prevent bidding wars, the system has faced criticism for its complexity and lack of transparency, prompting calls for reform or abolition.
