Canadian Football League, also known as CFL, is a privately owned entity headquartered in Canada. Founded in 1958, it operates with approximately 280 employees. The organization reported $108.4M in revenue as of 2021 and functions as a tier 3 media tech buyer. Specializing in contact sports, the CFL is a professional sports league representing the highest level of competition in Canadian football, comprising nine teams each located in a Canadian city.
On April 22, 2026, three Canadian Football League (CFL) Draft prospects received a one-year ban from signing contracts after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs at Combine events. Canadian offensive lineman Mahdi Hazime and defensive lineman Cameron Michaud both tested positive for exogenous testosterone at the Invitational Combine on March 6, with Hazime's test also showing traces of four additional anabolic steroids. Previously, on January 13, CFL Commissioner Stewart Johnston stated the league aims to finalize its next broadcast agreement before the 2026 season begins, setting this as a self-imposed deadline from the league's offseason winter meetings. This follows comments on November 15, 2025, from CFL Players’ Association president Solomon Elimimian, who expressed confidence that the union would be consulted on future rule changes after not being involved in discussions regarding rule and field dimension changes in September.
