Commissioner Randy Ambrosie says the CFL remains committed to returning in 2021, but is leaving the door wide open regarding exactly how that will look.
The CFL didn't play in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Plans for an abbreviated season were shelved in August after the league failed to secure a $30-million, interest-free loan from the federal government.
The CFL unveiled a full 18-game schedule for all nine teams last November, one that Ambrosie said it remains on track for in 2021. However, the commissioner added the league is keeping all of its options — including teams playing fewer than 18 games — open.
"We've got a schedule in place and we're committed to it," Ambrosie told The Canadian Press. "Our real focus is on all the planning that's going to have to go into executing against that and also having maximum adaptability because there's no doubt we're going to have to make adjustments to our plan.
"We just need to be ready at a moment's notice to make those adjustments . . . that's really how we're planning our business. We're committed to being on the field in 2021 . . . we're just keeping all of our avenues open."
The CFL made repeated pitches to Ottawa last year for funding it maintained was essential for an abbreviated season. Ambrosie repeatedly stated the league had collectively lost around $20 million in 2019 and a source familiar with the situation said the CFL lost between $60 and $80 million by not playing in 2020.
