Roundup from what we know from this week:
  • League will start in April 2019. Regular season, no playoffs, single table. Plan to begin with ten teams.
  • Community (see: team) announcements will begin in the coming weeks. Winnipeg and Hamilton have already been confirmed, and there has been confirmed interest in Halifax, Saskatchewan (Saskatoon), York, Calgary, and the Fraser Valley. There are 12-15 interested communities for teams in the league right now.
  • League will be club-based and not single-entity, franchise-owned model (MLS, other major sports leagues)
  • Promotion/Relegation may be implemented eventually once the number of teams reaches a certain number (16 is assumed)
  • CPL wants its teams to compete in the Canadian Championship and for its winner to gain a berth into the CONCACAF Champions League (presumably in addition to the one team already from the Voyageurs Cup)
  • League is backed by a $500M investment over 10 years by league founders
  • Canadian player requirements (minimum) for each team
