A STATEMENT FROM THE CANADIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE

TORONTO (July 7, 2021) -- The Canadian Football League (CFL) released the following statement:

Our talks with the XFL, exploring the potential for collaboration and innovation, have been positive and constructive.

While we remain open to finding new ways to work together in the future, we and our XFL counterparts have jointly decided to not pursue any formal arrangements at this time.

We at the CFL are now squarely focused on preparing for August 5^th and the start of our  2021 regular season, which will culminate December 12 with the playing of the 108^th Grey Cup in Hamilton, Ontario. We are looking forward to this year and a bright future for our league.
