CFL2020 premieres June 12


TORONTO — Bell Media’s TSN announced Tuesday it will launch the new weekly show CFL2020, starting this Friday, to bring viewers the latest news from the Canadian Football League.

Hosted by Rod Smith, the show will feature comprehensive news and analysis from the CFL On TSN panel of Henry Burris, Matt Dunigan, Milt Stegall and Davis Sanchez, as well as CFL Insiders Farhan Lalji and Dave Naylor, and the Inside the Booth pairing of Glen Suitor and Duane Forde. CFL players, management and personnel from around the league will also join the show.

The premiere episode on Friday, June 12 will discuss the current state of the league, and confront the question of whether or not a 2020 CFL season is possible. The show will include interviews with CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie and CFL Players’ Association executive director Brian Ramsay.

Future episodes of the show will examine each of the nine teams’ off-seasons and what their rosters will look like when the league returns.

CFL2020 airs Fridays at 7:30 p.m. ET, beginning June 12, ahead of TSN’s weekly CFL Encore Fridays show, which has been airing classic CFL matchups since April 10.
