Rogers completes $4.35-billion buyout to own all of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment
The telecom giant took the final 25 per cent stake from Larry Tanenbaum’s Kilmer Sports, folding the Leafs, Raptors, Toronto FC and Argonauts into a new Rogers Sports unit alongside the Blue Jays.
Published: October 2, 2026 · 1 min read
CEO Tony Staffieri framed full ownership as a chance to invest in championship-calibre teams and deeper rewards for Rogers customers. Tanenbaum exits MLSE ownership but retains Toronto sports interests through Kilmer’s ownership of the WNBA’s Toronto Tempo and a Canadian stake in the PWHL.
