Having won the 2023 Canadian Championship, the Whitecaps will participate in the CONCACAF Champions League for a second consecutive season and fourth time overall. The Whitecaps will also participate in the 2024 Canadian Championship looking to win their third domestic cup championship in a row. They will also participate in the 2024 Leagues Cup.

The Whitecaps had to play their first six regular season matches without their manager Vanni Sartini, due to him being sent off and suspended for multiple league rules violations during the Whitecaps' last match of the 2023 season.[1]
