The start of the regular season couldn't come at a better time for the CFL. Watch the Alouettes and Blue Bombers in the season opener LIVE on June 6 at 8:30 p.m. ET/ 5:30 p.m. PT on TSN1/3, TSN.ca and the TSN App.
The 2024 campaign kicks off Thursday night in Winnipeg with the Blue Bombers hosting the Montreal Alouettes in a Grey Cup rematch on TSN.
It followed an independent investigation into a lawsuit filed by a former strength-and-conditioning coach against Kelly for sexual harassment and the Argos for wrongful dismissal. Two days later, Kelly was on the field during Toronto's rookie camp although he wasn't in equipment and didn't practise. On May 14, Lemon reported to Montreal's camp after appealing his suspension. He'll be allowed to play until an independent arbitrator rules on the matter.
Unfortunately, the CFL's off-field issues did take away from what was a decent 2023 season. Scoring was up 18 per cent from 2021, with 50.8 points per game compared to 43.1. Sixty per cent of games were decided in the final three minutes, up from 51 per cent in 2021. There were 17 kick-return touchdowns in 2023, four more than in 2022 and more than twice as many as in 2021. Additionally, 18 different quarterbacks started and won a game last year.
But with the 2024 CFL season set to begin, the emphasis now can return to the field and Montreal's attempt to win consecutive championships for the first time since 2009-10.
