On the weekend, the CPL unveiled the starting date of the 2021 CPL season with an email, where it also added the names of two new partners, ComeOn! and HelloFresh.

The agreement will also include the launch of the weekly OneSoccer show, “CPL Week in Review presented by ComeOn!” every Monday. It will present a summary of each week’s matches, and a commentary on the future fixtures. Thus, fans will take advantage of news and insights about the CPL in one program.

The ultimate goal of ComeOn! is to create fun experiences for fans through match predictors and in-stadium events, Reyhan said.
The 2021 Canadian Premier League season is the Canadian Premier League’s third season, which will kick off in Winnipeg, Manitoba, this year. The matches will be played on the turf pitch at IG Field until July 24, 2021.
