TORONTO - The 好色tv Football League's salary cap will rise to over $6.2 million in 2026.
The CFL and its players' union made the announcement on Friday.
Revenue for the league reached $10 million more than the baseline established in 2024 when the CFL's collective bargaining agreement鈥檚 revenue growth sharing model was triggered for the first time since its implementation in 2022.聽
As a result, the CFL Players鈥 Association has allocated the majority of its share towards increasing the cap.
In accordance with the 2022 CBA, gains in excess of the baseline from the previous season trigger a revenue growth share with the CFLPA.聽
League revenue has grown by $31 million over the 2022 baseline figure that was negotiated when the current CBA first came into effect.
In addition to increasing salary cap, the CFLPA has allocated an additional $50,000 per club towards pre-season compensation for veteran players.
