After The Athletic obtained a full schedule for the “MLS is Back” Tournament in Orlando early Wednesday morning, continuing the ongoing feud between the site and the league, the Vancouver Whitecaps officially announced the dates and times for their first three group stage matches. All three matches will be taking place at 7:30PM PT (or 10:30PM ET), which will hopefully make for both an enjoyable viewing experience in the pacific time zone and offer the players some form of relief from the unrelenting Florida heat.
The Whitecaps begin the tournament with a July 9th matchup with FC Dallas, then taking on San Jose Earthquakes on July 15th, and rounding out the group stage with a cascadia clash against the Seattle Sounders on July 20th.
