When it comes to the Canadian Football League in 2026, the SportsCage’s Arash Madani has an interesting prediction for the coming year.
“This is not sourced, and this is not that the league is leaning this way. It would not surprise me if, at some point in 2026, they claw back the idea of removing the 55-yard line. It would not surprise me if they said, ‘You know what? We’re going to keep all the rule changes: both teams on the same sideline, the goalposts back, the change to the Rouge, blah, blah, blah.’ All those are going to stay.”
“I don’t know, I just get this hunch. It’s not that I’ve spoken with people about it, etc. I think that there’s been so much noise, like at some point, give the fans something, give those venues something. Give the stadiums that the league plays in a little something, especially since you didn’t have them involved. It’s okay to say, ‘Hey, we’re going to do 90 percent of what we decided.’ I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. So that’s just something that wouldn’t surprise me if it happened in 2026.”
