David Blitzer in Advanced Talks to Sell Real Salt Lake and Utah Royals to Miller Family

Negotiations could mark the Miller family's return to Utah professional sports, though no formal agreement has been finalized.

David Blitzer is negotiating the sale of controlling stakes in Real Salt Lake (MLS) and Utah Royals (NWSL) to the Miller family, former owners of the Utah Jazz.
The Miller family aims to reestablish itself in Utah's professional sports scene after selling the Jazz in 2020.
Blitzer, who acquired Real Salt Lake in 2022 and revived the Utah Royals in 2023, is expected to retain a minority stake if the sale proceeds.
The valuation of NWSL teams has surged, with recent expansion fees reaching $110 million, highlighting the league's growing financial appeal.
No formal agreement has been signed, leaving the outcome of the negotiations uncertain at this time.
