TORONTO - The Canadian Football League (CFL) has enacted its Weather Protocol to delay kickoff of two preseason games.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers taking on the Saskatchewan Roughriders will begin at approximately 8 p.m. local time/10 p.m. ET, due to air quality concerns.

The decision to delay the games was jointly made by the league, the competing teams and the CFL Players' Association.
