CBC Sports to broadcast 2024 Canadian Premier League championship final




The final step on the quest to lift the Canadian Premier League's coveted North Star Cup as champion will play out on CBC Sports when the 2024 CPL Final is broadcast live by Canada's public broadcaster on Saturday, Nov. 9.

The location of the championship game will be decided on Sunday, Oct. 27 at 4 p.m. ET when the top two teams from this year's regular season meet in their first match of the playoffs to battle for home field advantage. Forge FC will host that decisive match, as winners of the 2024 regular season, at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton; its opponent will be decided on the final day of the 28-game season on Oct. 19.

Coverage of the CPL Final will feature CBC Sports' Andi Petrillo leading an on-site panel alongside analysts Gareth Wheeler and Kristian Jack, who will also report from pitch-side, and former York United FC defender Jordan Wilson. 

Broadcast coverage begins at 3 p.m. ET (12 p.m. PT) on CBC, CBC Gem and cbcsports.ca.

"The 2024 CPL Final is the marquee event on our annual calendar, and we are thrilled to partner with CBC Sports to ensure Canadian soccer fans from coast to coast to coast can tune in and see which club will lift the North Star Cup," said Mark Noonan, commissioner of the CPL. "As we build toward the 2026 FIFA World Cup, sharing our high-quality product, talented players and historic matches with as wide an audience as possible is paramount.

"We are grateful to our friends at CBC Sports, who not only recognize what we are building with the CPL but also see the opportunity to tap into the rapidly growing audience for soccer across the country."

The champion of the 2024 CPL Final will also clinch the League's second berth in the 2025 CONCAFAF Champions Cup, the annual continental club competition contested by the top teams from North and Central American and the Caribbean.

The 2024 CPL Awards, which honour the best in individual performances over the course of the CPL regular season, will be streamed live on CBC Gem and cbcsports.ca on Thursday, Nov. 7 at 8 p.m. ET. 

The 2024 CPL Final will also be available to subscribers of OneSoccer through the OneSoccer.ca website, via Roku, Chromecast and Apple TV devices and with the OneSoccer app for iOS and Android devices.
