About Canadian Premier League
The Canadian Premier League is the top professional soccer league in Canada. It launched in 2019 and has grown into a solid domestic product. The league runs from April through October, with playoffs and a championship final called the North Star Shield. The season is just getting started, with teams finding their rhythm.
Top teams
Forge FC from Hamilton has been the most successful club in CPL history. They've won multiple titles and always seem to be in the final. Cavalry FC from Calgary is the other heavyweight — the two have a legit rivalry that's become the centerpiece of the league. Atlético Ottawa, Pacific FC, and York United are the other contenders. The league is small but competitive. Any of four or five teams could win it in a given year.
Development focus
The CPL is built around Canadian talent. The league has a mandate to develop domestic players. Young Canadians get minutes here, then move to Europe or MLS. The Canadian national team has benefited from the league — several current squad members came through the CPL. The league also has a strict salary cap, which keeps things balanced and forces clubs to develop players instead of buying them.
Viewership
The CPL pulls between 4 and 5 million viewers annually across Canada and the US. The numbers are strongest in the local markets — Hamilton, Calgary, Ottawa, and the other cities where clubs are based. The final draws the biggest audience. International interest is growing, especially with the Canadian national team's recent success. The league is still small, but it's building a loyal following.
Streaming options in Canada
OneSoccer is the exclusive home of the Canadian Premier League. They stream every match live on their platform. There's no free-to-air TV deal in Canada. Some games show up on CBC Gem or local broadcasters occasionally, but that's rare. If you want to follow the league in Canada, you need a OneSoccer subscription. The platform also carries Canadian national team matches and other domestic soccer.
Streaming options in the US
For American fans, Fox Sports has a sublicense for some CPL matches. They show a handful of games on FS2 or Fox Soccer Plus. But the full season is on OneSoccer, which is available in the US through their app. It's the same subscription as Canadian fans use. No cable required. The platform works in the US, and you get every match live and on demand.
International viewing
For fans outside Canada and the US, OneSoccer is also the best option. The platform is available globally. Some regions have local broadcast deals — in the UK, the league shows up on the FreeSports network. But for full coverage, OneSoccer is the move. The subscription is reasonably priced and covers the entire season.
Current season
The 2026 CPL season kicked off in April. The regular season runs through October, with the playoffs in November. The North Star Shield final is scheduled for late November. Forge FC are the defending champions after winning the title last season. Cavalry FC and Atlético Ottawa are expected to push them this year. The league also added a new expansion team in Vancouver this season, bringing the total to nine clubs.
