The Canadian Football League announced Wednesday that its talks with the XFL about collaboration between the two leagues will no longer be pursued at this time.
The CFL said this was a joint decision between the two leagues.
"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," the league said in a statement.
The CFL said it is set to open its 2021 regular season on Aug.
