CFL to make major changes to rules starting with 2027 season - chargeradio - 09-22-2025 05:23 PM

Changes include shortening the fields form 150 yards to 130 yards (100 yards plus two 15 yard end zones), moving the goalposts to the back of the end zone, and reducing opportunities to score a rouge:

Are they hoping to merge with the NFL?

Moving the goal posts is probably a good move for safety but I don’t the need for all the rule changes and shrinking the end zones. Keep Canadian football quirky.

I hope they don’t decide to merge with the UFL or anything like that.
