Rogers Communications' second-quarter results were significantly shaped by its agreement to acquire the remaining 25% stake in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE), the ownership group behind the Toronto Maple Leafs, the company reported on August 17, 2026. Rogers posted total revenue of $5.615 billion, an 8% increase year-over-year, with total service revenue also up 8% to $5.055 billion.

Earlier, on July 8, 2026, Davies Goodmans advised on the C$4.35 billion professional sports deal that would grant the Canadian telecom giant 100% control of MLSE, which owns the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Raptors, soccer teams, and various sporting venues. Rogers already owns Major League Baseball’s Toronto Blue Jays and Sportsnet. Rogers Communications had announced on July 7, 2026, its agreement to buy the remaining 25% ownership stake in MLSE from co-owner Kilmer Sports for C$4.35 billion, a move aimed at consolidating its sports assets with the intention of selling a minority stake in its combined sports media and entertainment holdings the following year.
