TORONTO — The CFL is the latest league to postpone play due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The league, which was slated to kick off the regular season on June 11, announced Tuesday that the season won't start before the beginning of July.
"Like our fellow Canadians, we in the CFL are striving to meet today's challenges with both pragmatism and hope," commissioner Randy Ambrosie said in a statement. "We are pragmatic enough to see our country still has sacrifice and hard work ahead of it."
The announcement follows recent comments by Mayor Naheed Nenshi that Calgary's ban on public events until June 30 includes CFL and NHL games should those leagues resume before then.
