Football in Canada NOW (November 21st)

While we do not have enough high school teams to rank our annual CFC50 and CFC25 high school rankings, we can highlight what is going on in each province.

We encourage everyone to be safe and do what they can within the local health authority guidelines…play football, in any format, where you can…late starts to seasons may see a late start in the CFC50…stay tuned.

U Sports/CJFL

No U Sports season or games yet many (if not all) are doing some sort of training and/or full contact practicing.  CJFLs most dominant program and 6-time defending champs, the Hilltops, resumed practicing in early September…others have as well.

High School/CEGEP

High School teams were permitted to participate in two weeks of September practices in the hopes of a spring season.  No games this fall.
