The Canadian Football League (CFL) aims to finalize its next broadcast agreement before the 2026 season commences, a self-imposed deadline, Commissioner Stewart Johnston stated on January 13, 2026, during the league's offseason winter meetings. Previously, on November 15, 2025, CFL Players’ Association (CFLPA) president Solomon Elimimian expressed confidence that the union would be consulted on future rule changes. This followed the union's lack of consultation in September 2025, when Commissioner Johnston unveiled the league's two-part plan to alter its rules and field dimensions. At that time, on September 22, 2025, reports confirmed the CFL's adoption of rule changes, clarifying that the league would not transition to four downs, contrary to some expectations.
