Nov 9, 2026 | 3:16 PM

MONTREAL — CF Montréal owner Joey Saputo says he will initiate the sale process for the Major League Soccer club.

Saputo said Monday he wants the team to remain under Montreal ownership.

The announcement follows the worst season in club history, with Montreal finishing last in the Eastern Conference with six wins, 20 losses and eight draws.

The team also lost the Canadian Championship final to Canadian Premier League club Forge FC.

Frustrated supporters boycotted games late in the season as the club struggled on the field.
