This season will mark the second year the League officially recognizes a regular season champion. CPL Commissioner Mark Noonan announced plans to honour the best team over the League’s 28-game regular season schedule in September 2022. The club that finishes in first place after those 28 league matches will be crowned regular season champion and earn a financial reward of equal value to the reward for winning the playoff championship. This year, a new trophy honouring the CPL’s regular season champion will be introduced.

The 2023 regular season champion will also earn one of the CPL’s two spots in the newly expanded Concacaf

Champions League, with the League’s other spot going to its playoff champion. The Concacaf Champions League will now include 27 clubs and more than 50 matches and will kick off in 2024.

The Canadian Premier League season will be broadcast on the dedicated soccer channel OneSoccer, available to all Canadian households through OneSoccer.ca, via Roku, Chromecast and Apple TV devices and with the OneSoccer app for iOS and Android devices. OneSoccer is also available to more than one million Western Canadians as a linear channel on Optik TV (Ch.980), the pay-TV service operated by Telus, one of Canada’s ‘big three’ telecoms companies, as well as on streaming service FuboTV Canada, where it sits alongside a range of other premium sports offerings, including English Premier League and Serie A channels. The 2023 season will also be available to fans abroad through Fox Sports in the United States as well as through other selected broadcasters worldwide and globally through the OneSoccer website and app.
