The Telus Canadian Championship is the country’s highest domestic knockout tournament with clubs competing for the Voyageurs Cup and a berth internationally in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.

Only the MLS clubs of Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto FC have lifted the Voyageurs Cup since a men’s Canadian Championship was introduced in 2002.

The Whitecaps have won four Voyageurs titles in a row, including last year’s 4-2 win over the CPL’s Vancouver FC in the final.
