Sacramento Reportedly to Receive MLS Expansion Club

An MLS expansion team will soon call Sacramento home.

Tony Bizjak and Marcos Breton of the Sacramento Bee reported that the California capital will have the MLS' 29th expansion team, marking the league's fourth club in the state and second in Northern California.

"Sources said league officials will hold a press conference in downtown Monday followed by a fan event in the afternoon, celebrating the franchise award," the Bee reporters wrote.

MLS declined comment when asked about the league's reported expansion to Sacramento.

The 24-club league added six franchises from 2015 to 2019, with FC Cincinnati joining this season.
