Bill overview
The Home Team Act of 2026 aims to prevent professional sports teams from relocating and protects local communities from being exploited for stadium funding. It prohibits leagues from preventing ownership by governments or the public and requires teams to offer a fair opportunity for local entities to purchase a franchise if it’s considering moving or eliminating the team. The bill establishes a process for determining a fair price for a franchise, taking into account any government subsidies received for stadium construction, and provides penalties for non-compliance.
