    It should be Toronto. I mean, Winnipeg still has other sports playing whereas there is nothing at all (cough Leafs cough) going on for sports in Toronto right now.

    If they are in a bubble environment for a month - Winnipeg makes more sense for TV. Investor's Group Field does give you that professional look that will make the league look good.

    York Lions isn't ready

    MLSE have the managerial rights to BMO Field...unlikely they let CPL rent BMO Field for a month

    2021 CPL season will start June 26 in Winnipeg at the Investors Group Field.

    Each side will play eight matches in Winnipeg — leading to a total of 32 matches to be played in the bubble.

    Afterwards, they are expected to resume their season in their home markets for a full 28 games season.

    New kits to be released on Monday

    Fun facts
    • 11 locations offered to host the bubble including multiple countries in the Caribbean, one in Europe, the US and five Canadian provinces.

    Im watching Pacific vs Wanderers right now.. Marco Bustos just scored.

    He really has the creativity to help a club like the Whitecaps in the center of the park. He's good enough for MLS.

    Wanderers are just playing on the counter. Losing Sissoko to Indy Eleven has really hurt their midfield dominance compared to last year.

    Easily by far the strongest XI in CPL thus far... They need to face TFC asap for the Canadian Championship

    Valour with the early 1-0 lead thanks to a penalty.

    Interested to watch Sean Rea, a creative, young Canadian on loan from CF Montreal. He's got some spice when he's on the ball. Kevin Aleman has looked good for Valour, too.

    I agree that Forge have to be the favourite in the CPL this year, and can build off their experience in Concacaf.

    It's crazy to me that a Canadian soccer league, which everyone said could never happen, is playing their third season (and second season during a pandemic with no fans, so far). How's that for commitment from ownership.

    Please remember that you are not supposed to announce results on Big Soccer. If you want to talk about a game and it's results, you need to start a thread that says, "HFX vs Forge [R]" for example. The [R] means that results are being discussed in case someone doesn't want to know the outcome of a game yet.

    That is a pretty standard Big Soccer policy.
