The 2020 CFL season was the 67th season of modern professional Canadian football and officially, the 63rd season of the Canadian Football League, but was subsequently cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.
Previously, the season was scheduled to begin on June 11 but was delayed as the league sort to get financial assistance from the federal government and in May delayed the start of the season until September. Furthermore, it was decided that the Grey Cup was to be played as a home advantage game rather than as the usual neutral site game in Regina, Saskatchewan, as originally planned. Then in July, the CFL announced plans to tentatively play all games in Winnipeg, Manitoba, as a "hub city".
On August 17, the CFL announced that the season had been cancelled, due in part to theleague's inability to obtain the required financial support from the federal government in order to cover operating costs and compensate for playing behind closed doors without paid ticketholders. As a result, Regina would host the Grey Cup game in 2022.
