Women's Professional Soccer

The league, started in 2009, saw its first major relocation before the 2011 season. The former Washington Freedom, which previously played in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., was purchased by Dan Borislow, founder of the VoIP company magicJack, and moved to Boca Raton, Florida. The team played as magicJack in the 2011 season, which was marked by near-constant conflict between the league and Borislow. WPS terminated the franchise after that season. The fallout from a subsequent legal battle between WPS and Borislow, combined with major financial losses, led the league to disband in 2012.

National Women's Soccer League

The NWSL, which launched in 2013 as the effective successor of WPS, played its first four seasons without a major relocation (during this time, several teams moved to different stadiums within their existing markets). The first major relocation occurred prior to the league's fifth season.

• 2017: Western New York Flash moved from Rochester, New York to the Research Triangle area of North Carolina to become the North Carolina Courage.

In the Flash's case, the move was largely a paper relocation involving only the NWSL franchise and not the team itself; the Flash will continue to operate in United Women's Soccer.

Canadian Football League

The Baltimore Stallions moved to Montreal in 1996 to become the Montreal Alouettes despite high attendance and success on the field (reaching the Grey Cup championship game in both seasons and winning it once). When the Cleveland Browns announced that they would relocate to Baltimore, the Stallions recognized that they could not compete with it and relocated to Montreal where it assumed the defunct Montreal Alouettes' name along with its records, history, and traditions. Although cosmetic rather than substantive, the CFL officially considers the modern Alouettes to be a continuation of the previous Alouettes team in an effort to distance itself from the American expansion experiment of which the Stallions were members and to keep the Alouettes' legacy viewed collectively. The current Alouettes do not consider the Stallions' legacy, including its Grey Cup victory, as part of the team's current legacy, even though the two teams never played concurrently. The only other team to relocate in the CFL's history was the Sacramento Gold Miners, another American team, who moved to become the San Antonio Texans in 1995. Coincidentally the Stallions' move ultimately led to the collapse of the entire US expansion. The staff of the Ottawa Rough Riders moved from Ottawa to Shreveport, Louisiana to become the Shreveport Pirates in 1993, but the CFL forced the team itself to be left in Ottawa, where a new owner kept the franchise alive. The Ottawa franchise itself ceased operations in 1996, but re-joined the league in 2003 as the Ottawa Renegades. The Renegades would in turn cease operations in 2006. In 2014, Ottawa rejoined the CFL as the Ottawa Redblacks.
On multiple occasions, the league attempted to relocate the remains of the Las Vegas Posse, who played one season in 1994. Prior to the 1995 season, multiple ownership groups unsuccessfully tried to buy the team for a relocation to Jackson, Mississippi. Following that, plans were made to move the team to Miami, Florida as the Manatees, but plans fell through when the league chose to end the US expansion before the Manatees' scheduled launch in 1996.
Outside of the American expansion, the CFL has never relocated any of its core Canadian franchises from one market to another.

National Basketball League of Canada

The NBL, founded in 2011, has had three teams relocate in its history, although one of the relocations was within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and is not listed here. The other two were:

• Prior to the 2013–14 season, the Summerside Storm moved within Prince Edward Island to the provincial capital of Charlottetown, renaming themselves the Island Storm.
• Prior to the 2015–16 season, the Brampton A's moved just outside the GTA to Orangeville, Ontario, renaming themselves the Orangeville A's.
