CFL: Winnipeg Blue Bombers

The Canadian Football League and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers recently announced that Winnipeg will host the shortened 2020 season and Grey Cup. The plan calls for a 30-game season at IG Field, six games for each of the 9 CFL teams, playoffs and the Grey Cup. This is the first step for the league to return to play as Winnipeg was chosen over Saskatchewan and Calgary also put bids in to host the CFL.

“This is an interesting year, but we want to get all the teams on the field. I’ve got my league hat on here: we want to play football. Everyone will have an equal playing field and the Blue Bombers will beat the teams on the field.” -Wade Miller, Bombers President and CEO
