Canadian Football League - Season Structure

Season Structure

Currently, the CFL season includes:

  • A two-game, two-week exhibition season (or pre-season) in mid-June
  • An 18-game, 19-week regular season running from late June to early November
  • A six-team, three-week single elimination playoff tournament beginning in November and culminating in the Grey Cup championship in late November. Championship teams will play either two or three playoff games, including the Grey Cup game, depending on their standing at the end of the regular season. The division leader at the end of the regular season receives a bye in the first round of the playoffs.

Famous quotes containing the words season and/or structure:

    The LORD will open for you his rich storehouse, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all your undertakings.
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 28:12.

    Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.
    Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
