Connecticut United FC is a planned professional soccer expansion team in Connecticut, USA, for MLS Next Pro for the 2026 MLS Next Pro season.
On January 9, 2024, MLS Next Pro awarded an expansion team to a group from the city of Bridgeport, Connecticut.[1] [2] The ownership group, named Connecticut Sports Group, consists of businessman André Swanston and his wife Michelle Swanston.[1]
The club plans to play at a new stadium to be located on the waterfront at a former dog-racing track; stadium plans were approved by the Bridgeport government in November 2023.[3]
