Canadian Premier League is a professional soccer league in Canada contested by 8 teams across the country. The league sits at the top of the Canadian Soccer League system as the country’s primary national Soccer league.

Founded in 2017, the league’s inaugural season was in 2019 after series of dates change as a result of final preparations for the commencement of the new national soccer competition.

 

Although Canada now has a league, there are other Canadian soccer teams that play in the Major League Soccer including CF Montréal, Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps.

 

Winners who emerge at the end of the season would qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League or CONCACAF League through the Canadian Premier League international slots.

 

Seven teams began the inaugural season before another team was added later on, which increased the number of teams to eight. Since its first season in 2019, Forge FC have emerged victorious more times than any other side.

The league’s inaugural season in 2019, was played similar to the league format in Mexican Liga MX where two short tournaments were used. The winner of each shot tournament qualifies for the Canadian Premier League final or the CPL Final.

 

From 2020, the addition of Atlético Ottawa saw the league return to the regular season format but still retained the end of season playoffs. Canadian Premier League rules which favour homegrown players

 

The league operates a strict policy to ensure more young Canadian players have more opportunity to play professionally in the country.
