Canadian Football World League: Growing the CFL through a new independent international league

The much talked of "merger" between the Canadian Football League (CFL) and the upstart reincarnated Xtreme Football League (XFL), a league without even one successful season under its belt, was a dog's breakfast. Thankfully, Canadian football survived those perilous negotiations and remained intact for the 2021 season.

In Canadian Football World League: Growing the CFL through a new independent international league, Peter Tremblay argues that the most logical direction for the CFL would be a "Canadian Football World League" (CFWL). The CFL is a leader in the International Alliance of Gridiron Football, and there has been significant interest in Canadian football and the CFL among international players and representative international organizations, demonstrating that a global professional football league using Canadian rules is more than viable.

Based upon economic models already successfully implemented in other leagues and the unique identity of Canadian football, Peter Tremblay maintains that the time is right for a global approach to growing our national game.
