Nashville SC secured the 2026 MLS Supporters' Shield for the first time in club history following a 2-0 victory over CF Montréal at Stade Saputo. The win brings Nashville to 70 points with three matches remaining, mathematically clinching the top spot in the league and guaranteeing home-field advantage for the upcoming playoffs.

Goals from Sam Surridge in the 51st minute and Hany Mukhtar in the 76th minute sealed the win for the Tennessee-based side. The victory also secures Nashville a spot in the 2027 CONCACAF Champions Cup.

For CF Montréal, the defeat officially eliminates them from playoff contention.
