Changes from 2019

On March 29, 2020, the CSL released a tentative match schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Following recommendations from health officials the schedule was prolonged for another month with intentions of fulfilling the entire season by scheduling matches on the weekdays.[2] On July 8, 2020, the league announced their schedule with the commencement of the league beginning in early August with seven teams returning from the previous season.[3] All the matches are scheduled to take place at Centennial Park Stadium in Toronto, Ontario with Kingsman SC, FC Ukraine United, and SC Waterloo Region not participating for the season.[3] The schedule was postponed for another week with the season starting on August 15, 2020.[4]

On June 27, 2020 the league officially released their 2020 schedule and confirmed the kickoff date for August 15, 2020 with all matches being played at Esther Shiner Stadium in August, and the remainder months at Centennial Park Stadium.[5] Originally CSC Mississauga and Real Mississauga SC were announced as participating teams, but were not included in the revised schedule.
