CF Montreal owner puts MLS team up for sale amid relocation concerns

Summary

CF Montreal owner Joey Saputo announced on November 7, 2026, that he is selling the MLS club, prompting immediate speculation about possible relocation. While parallels have been drawn to the fate of the former MLB team, the Montreal Expos, current ownership emphasizes the intent to find a buyer who will maintain the team in Montreal. The club's recent struggles, including missing the MLS playoffs for two consecutive seasons, have raised concerns about its local engagement and fan support. Discussions regarding relocation have reportedly not yet occurred between Saputo and MLS, as logistics and expenses present potential barriers for a new ownership group seeking to move.
