The Canadian Football League announced this morning (Mon) that training camps will be delayed indefinitely as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Their main training camps were scheduled to begin May 17, with rookie camps allowed to open as early as May 11.

The CFL board of governors made the decision last week, citing uncertainty over whether players should be making plans to travel to camps. It’s also believed that government guidelines restricting gatherings may not be lifted in time for the start of camps.

The league has made no decisions about changing the start of the preseason or regular seasons as of yet.

The league is planning to go ahead with its Canadian college draft on April 30. However, there remains sufficient time to reconsider that decision if necessary.
