FC Montreal was a Canadian professional soccer team based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada that played in the United Soccer League, the second tier of the American & Canadian soccer league system.[1][2] The team served as a reserve team of Major League Soccer (MLS) club, Montreal Impact.

FC Montreal played their home games at Saputo Stadium and surrounding training fields in their first season, and at Complexe sportif Claude-Robillard in their second, after undergoing renovations. The games were open to the public, free of charge.[3]

On December 9, 2016, the Montreal Impact signed an affiliation agreement with Ottawa Fury FC, which had recently joined the USL. As a result, FC Montreal was disbanded.[4]
