On Tuesday, the CFL released the 2023 schedule. The schedule will have a different look compared to years past. First, during the summer season, the CFL will have games Thursday through Sunday, then shift to Fridays and Saturdays once the NFL season starts.
The CFL will have a few Monday games. The first Monday game happens during Independence Day weekend on July 3rd when the BC Lions visit the Toronto Argonauts.
The second takes place on Labour Day weekend with a doubleheader on September 4th, as the Toronto Argonauts battle the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and the Edmonton Elks clash with the Calgary Stampeders. The final Monday game of the year happens on Thanksgiving Day with the Ottawa Redblacks at the Montreal Alouettes.
The CFL will announce a new television partner in the United States at a later date.
