The Canadian Football League announced the cancellation of its 2020 season amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The nine-team league said on Monday that it will focus on resuming in 2021 after its hopes to play a shortened season in the hub city of Winnipeg this fall were dashed.
"Our league governors decided today it is in the best long-term interests of the CFL to concentrate on the future," commissioner Randy Ambrosie said in a statement.
"We are absolutely committed to 2021, to the future of our league and the pursuit of our vision of a bigger, stronger, more global CFL."
The decision marks the first time the Grey Cup won't be presented since 1919.
