B.J. Callaghan’s Nashville SC sealed a second trophy in as many years on Saturday.
A 2-0 road victory over CF Montreal clinched Nashville SC the 2026 Supporters’ Shield for the first time in club history. It also guaranteed the Eastern Conference side a spot in the 2027 CONCACAF Champions Cup.
Second-half goals from Sam Surridge and Hany Mukhtar moved Nashville SC up to 70 points on the season with three matches remaining. They have already clinched the top spot in the Eastern Conference and will now have home-field advantage for the upcoming MLS Cup Playoffs.
Not only are Nashville SC tops in MLS and the East, but their 23 goals conceded are the fewest in the league. Their 66 goals scored are also the second-most, sitting just behind Inter Miami in that category.
43 of Nashville SC’s 70 points have come at GEODIS Park, giving them the best home record in MLS, and they trail Inter Miami by only three points for the best away record as well.
Led by Surridge and Mukhtar’s combined 28 league goals, Brian Schwake’s 14 clean sheets, and the playmaking abilities of Cristian Espinoza, Warren Madrigal and others, Nashville SC have continued to show they they will be a challenger for MLS Cup.
Nashville SC will close its regular season schedule with back-to-back home matches against the Philadelphia Union and New York Red Bulls before closing the season at FC Cincinnati on November 7.
