What is CPL

CPL is a soccer league that is regulated by the Canadian Soccer Association, and it features seven teams. Similar to the Canadian Football League, CPL has strict roster rules which must be observed at all times by every team. The league allows member teams to sign a maximum of 7 players from foreign nationals.

Just like how leagues are conducted in several countries in Central and South America, CPL has two different seasons every year, which is Spring and Fall. During the spring season, the member teams play ten games while the fall season each team plays a total of 18 games. The winners of these two seasons go ahead in a one-off championship match. In an event where one team becomes the winner in the two seasons, the next team with the highest cumulative points faces the winner in the one-off championship match.
