Today, the Canadian Premier League announced the remainder of the 2021 regular season schedule presented by WestJet. The 2021 CPL season has all 8 Clubs playing a 112-match season with 28 matches per Club in a single table format. The season began on Saturday June 26 in Winnipeg, Manitoba with The Kickoff Presented by Volkswagen with each club playing eight matches (32 games total).
Upon the completion of The Kickoff on July 24, Clubs will return to their home markets to continue the season where they will play an unbalanced schedule – 16 games against teams in their region and four more against teams they already played against in Winnipeg.
Wanderers matches will start August 2, 2021, and end on November 6, 2021, playing out their remaining 20 matches. The return to home markets kicks off with 2020 CPL Champions Forge making the short trip to Toronto for the ComeOn! Match of the Week vs York United at the newly refurbished York Lions Stadium. The Home Opener for the Wanderers will be played shortly after.
