Cavalry FC News Release


It's been a very long time since we've seen you at ATCO Field at Spruce Meadows and we have some very exciting announcements that have-and will-be made in the next couple of days.

Firstly, we have missed you and we are so thrilled about today's announcement from the Canadian Premier League that soccer will once again resume!

Today it was announced by the Canadian Premier League that Winnipeg, Manitoba has been selected as the single-city location for the start of the 2021 CPL season.

The Kickoff, presented by Volkswagen, will commence on Saturday, June 26 with the League's 2021 regular season's first two matches and scheduled to conclude on Saturday, July 24. Schedule announcement to come on June 9.

All eight (8) Canadian Premier League Clubs will play: HFX Wanderers FC, Atlético Ottawa, York United FC, Forge FC, Valour FC, FC Edmonton, Cavalry FC and Pacific FC.

The season will begin with each club playing eight matches (32 games total). All games will be played without fans in a sequestered environment at IG Field, the home of Valour FC in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

The Kickoff Weekend gets started at 2:00 P.M. ET on Saturday, June 26 with FC Edmonton vs Atlético Ottawa followed by Pacific FC vs HFX Wanderers FC at 5:00 P.M. ET. The doubleheader matches continue Sunday, June 27 with Forge FC vs Valour FC at 2:00 P.M. ET followed by your Cavalry FC vs York United FC at 5:00 P.M. ET.

The League is committed to delivering a full 28 regular-season match season this year.

The CPL will continue to monitor health and safety protocols in all our Club's cities at which point the potential of clubs returning to their home markets in front of supporters will be re-evaluated. We look forward to coming back home-to all of you-and finally playing once again at ATCO Field.

Cavalry FC's first match will be against York United on June 27 at 3 p.m. Put on your red and green, grab your scarves .... and let it begin!
