<p>The Miller Family, who formerly owned the NBA's Utah Jazz, have purchased a majority stake in MLS's RSL and NWSL's Utah Royals,<a href="https://x.com/realsaltlake/status/1913269526076232160" target="_blank"> the club announced Friday</a>. They reportedly paid $600m to make the deal happen, according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6289981/2025/04/18/real-salt-lake-utah-royals-sale-blitzer-miller-mls-nwsl/" target="_blank">the <em>Athletic</em></a>, and will also inherit the MLS Next Pro side Real Monarchs, as well as the teams' stadiums and training grounds. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Blitzer has owned RSL since 2022, when he bought the franchise from Dell Loy Hansen for around $400 million. He brought the NWSL to Utah, setting up the Royals in 2024. He will cede majority control of both as part of the deal.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>MLS Commissioner Don Garber <a href="https://x.com/thesoccerdon/status/1913293833565348244" target="_blank">expressed his happiness with the transaction in a release</a>: "The future of Real Salt Lake is in great hands with the Miller organization and David Blitzer. The Millers have a long-standing commitment to community, youth sports, and sound business operations, and we have a proven history with David, one of the most accomplished sports owners in the world. Together, this group is perfectly positioned to strengthen the club and grow soccer in Utah and the region."</p>

WHAT DON GARBER SAID

<p>The sale is expected to go through immediately. Both sides are in the midst of their seasons. The Royals continue their campaign with a fixture against Chicago Friday. Meanwhile, RSL host Toronto Saturday evening.</p>
