BURLINGTON, Canada—In an effort to be more transparent ahead of the 2021 Canadian Premier League season, the league revealed some financial information about player and coaching salaries, among other things on Monday afternoon.
Disclosing the information to The Canadian Press’ Neil Davidson, CPL Commissioner David Clanachan said that being more transparent with fans and media “needs to be done.” Since the league first kicked off in 2019, the lack of transparency with regards to salaries and the salary cap has been a constant talking point.
The big number is $1.2 million. That’s the 2021 salary cap for players and coaches/technical staff combined.
