CFL will soon confirm 2021 season will be postponed: report

https://3downnation.com/2021/04/11/cfl- ... ed-report/

>>According the Sportsnet’s Arash Madani, the CFL will officially announce that the 2021 season will not start on time on April 19.

April 19 is scheduled as the date the #CFL "officially" confirms the 2021 season won't start on time.

Wouldn't expect all elements with other parties to be fully completed by then. As I reported on @DTonSC April 1, the league + federal gov't continue talks on funding for 2021. https://t.co/aeIDjbpzj7

Circle April 19 on your calendars. It's the targeted date being whispered about in #CFL circles for much more clarity being provided on this whole thing. Quote Tweet

Season kickoff postponed, not cancelled. This has already been discussed as a possibility. Maybe they make it official.

The government talks are not about funding as much as they are about reducing Covid restrictions, so fans can be in the stands. However, each province has different leadership, and a different Covid situation. Many provinces are currently being hit by a third wave as they vaccinate residents. It is a race against time.

CFL normally starts training camps in May a nd kick off in mid-June.
