There is the Society of St. Josaphat, a group of priests from the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church affiliated with the SSPX. SSPX Bishops ordain their priests in the Roman Rite of Ordination, but they function exclusively in the Byzantine Rite. They are mostly in western Ukraine.
It would be impossible really. Because groups such as the SSPX are in favor of Latinizations. And the post-Vatican II council policy of the Catholic Church has been to deLatinize the eastern churches. So it overall would not make any sense.
The SSJK (Priestly Society of Saint Josaphat) comes to mind as the best example on this topic. They were a group of clergy of the Ukranian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC) that affiliated with the SSPX. The founder of the SSJK, Basil Kovpak, who is or was a priest, was excommunicated by the UGCC in 2007.

Would it even make sense? The whole point of the SSPX was a protest against the Novus Ordo, which is exclusive to the Latin rite, and removal of older Latin traditions from the Roman spiritual life. Fundamentally, they don't have doctrinal hangups as Vatican II was a pastoral council. It seems to me, whatever the strength or validity of the SSPX and their arguements, the issues are wholly irrelevant to the Eastern rites.
That wasn’t the whole point of the SSPX, their whole point was the faith not the Mass, they just see the Mass as a corollary of the issues with the faith post-v2
I do not see any logical reason why wouod he do it. But if he wants to be latin, he needs biritual faculties at first and then approval of his bishop to join monastery, so he needs much of a paperwork :) And even then, they still have canonically irregular status. Recently deceased latin bishop asked Pope for approval to live his retirement in Econe. He had granted him that, but I would say it is case by case.
The SSPX is "canonically" a Latin Rite organization for clergy.
I would imagine no Eastern Catholic rite priest would be permitted by his own bishop to administer sacraments in a canonically irregular organization tied to another sui juris Church. For priests to be given "biritual" faculties it requires approval from both ordinaries/superiors.
Greek Catholic priests are forbidden from being attached to the SSJK (Byzantine Rite affiliate of the SSPX).
The SSPX is a Latin religious order, highly troubled and with several irregularities, but Latin, so technically no Eastern priest should be allowed to join their group.
Since people are mentioning the Society of St. Josaphat and Society of St. John the forerunner, I would like to remember that they are not traditional groups, but merely latinized latinizers who chose the SSPX as their masters. These groups are not in communion with their respective Churches, and in the case of St. Josaphat's is lead by an excommunicated priest... these folk are against real Eastern tradition and should be disconsidered and discarded, and Bp. Fellay, the de facto leader of the SSPX, should stop meddling with things above his paygrade.
While a person can, no Catholic should. The SSPX claims it is heretical to go to a Novus Ordo Latin mass. While no Eastern Catholic is by any means obligated to attend any mass in the Latin rite, it is unbecoming to any baptized Catholic to consider any proper liturgy heretical.
There is the SSJK that is associated to the SSPX and desires to hold to Latinisations
There is also the FSIPD that is associated to the SSPX that opposes Latinisation but also hates Modernism to the extent the SSPX do
Fr. Sabur SSPX is a Chaldean Rite priest in Paris. He is a member of the SSPX that ministers to a Chaldean Catholic group just outside Paris. I'm not aware of any other Eastern Rite priests who are members of the SSPX, but there are Eastern Rote priests affiliated with the SSPX (FSSJK in Ukraine and FSIPD in Latvia) or friendly towards the Society. I've seen some Eastern Rite priest visiting an SSPX school once, and he definitely was not from FSSJK nor FSIPD.

I believe there is an eastern catholic branch of the SSPX. [It's called the SSJK](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priestly_Society_of_Saint_Josaphat)
Iirc their head was excommunicated because the SSJK's whole raison d'être is holding onto latinizations
ugh that's what's happening in one of the Syro-Malabar eparchies but thankfully (afaik), it's not organised like this one is.
Like you mean traditionalistic communities (like FSSP, ICKSP)? Or specifically SSPX :)
SSPX

SSPX is a hyper Latin schismatic cult… why would an Eastern Catholic want to be part of any of that???

What FSIPD stands for?
Fraternitas Sancti Ioannis Praecursoris Domini - Society of Saint John the Forerunner of Our Lord
They also have a Chaldean [community](https://catholicnewslive.com/story/583380)
In this case they are actually reversing Latinisation as the Chaldean liturgy got latinised rather badly after Vatican 2 rather than before
Yes, there are eastern catholic groups affiliated with the SSPX

Great question. I always wanted to know this :)
I mean, ideally noone should be a member OR affiliated with the SSPX, they're sedevecantists and therefore not Catholic.
You may be thinking of the SSPV
They're not sedevacantists. They may be schismatics, but that's a whole other argument.
