Pacific FC welcome Cavalry FC to Starlight Stadium in the Canadian Premier League group stage on 5 April 2026, with both sides kicking off their new campaign. The standings table is still flat – both teams have 0 points and 0 games played – but expectations differ slightly: Pacific are currently listed 4th with a projected path via the 1/8-finals play-offs, while Cavalry sit 3rd and tagged for a direct quarter-final route.
With no 2026 form or goal stats available yet, the narrative leans heavily on recent head-to-head meetings. The last five league clashes have been fiercely contested: Cavalry hold the edge with three wins, Pacific have one, and there has been one draw. Starlight Stadium, however, has produced drama. In 2025, these sides played out a 3-3 thriller there after Pacific had edged a 1-0 home win earlier that season. Cavalry also showed their punch in Victoria with a 4-1 away victory in 2024.
There is no confirmed injury list or standout top scorers provided for this new season, so both squads appear at full strength on paper. Expect an open, attacking game, with Cavalry’s recent dominance slightly balanced by Pacific’s strong home record in this matchup.
