The San Diego Legion and Rugby Football Club Los Angeles (RFCLA) can confirm they have agreed in principle to strategically form a single, statewide professional rugby franchise: The California Legion.
This new venture will begin play in the 2026 Major League Rugby (MLR) season. The California Legion will play their home matches in multiple venues across San Diego, Los Angeles, and Orange County.

The r/MLRugby Discord has been buzzing like crazy about this for the last 48 hours. Glad the new combined team is keeping the Legion moniker.
