Toronto, ON – The Canadian Premier League today confirmed the 2024 CPL Final will be played on ATCO Field at Spruce Meadows in Calgary, Alta. on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 3 p.m. ET/1 p.m. MT, following Cavalry FC’s victory over Forge FC in Sunday’s qualifying semifinal.

Cavalry, which finished the regular season in second place in the league standings, earned the right to host this year’s CPL Final with a 1-0 away victory over its longstanding rival on Sunday evening. This marks the first time Cavalry will host the CPL Final since 2019.

The match will be broadcast live on CBC, CBC Gem and cbcsports.ca as well as OneSoccer, the dedicated home for soccer in Canada, and its distribution partners around the world.
