Schooners Sports and Entertainment is a sports ownership group that was previously in negotiations with the Canadian Football League (CFL) for an expansion team that was expected to begin play sometime in the 2020s as the Atlantic Schooners. Had the team taken the field, it might have begun playing in Moncton, New Brunswick, before moving into a new stadium in the Dartmouth community of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The prospective team had the same name as a conditional CFL franchise that was granted by the league in 1982 only to fold the following year without playing a game. As with the original Schooners franchise, the most significant impediment to this application was the inability to secure funding for a new stadium. On March 15, 2023, TSN reporter Dave Naylor revealed that Schooner Sports and Entertainment (SSE) "is no longer involved in pursuing a team for Atlantic Canada".
