2021 CFL Draft
The 2021 CFL Draft will take place in the Spring of 2021. If the format from the previous two drafts is used, 74 players will be chosen from among eligible players from Canadian Universities across the country, as well as Canadian players playing in the NCAA.[1] That number is subject to change based on the number of territorial picks that are assigned or if there are any forfeited selections.[2]
