Top 5 cities the CFL should expand to

The Canadian Football League has a rich history, but the league’s future could be even brighter with expansion. With loyal fans across the country craving more gridiron action, the question arises: which city deserves the next CFL team?We’ve narrowed it down to five top contenders – now it’s your turn to vote!

1. Halifax, Nova Scotia

Halifax has long been the front-runner for CFL expansion. With a growing population, passionate sports fans, and a strong university football culture, the city could bring Atlantic Canada fully into the CFL fold. Imagine East Coast rivalries with Ottawa and Montreal – the excitement would be off the charts!

2. Quebec City, Quebec

Quebec City already proved it could support a major sports team with the Quebec Nordiques’ popularity and recent NHL interest. A CFL team here could tap into a vibrant francophone fanbase, giving the league a strong presence in Quebec outside of Montreal.

3. London, Ontario

Ontario is home to many CFL fans outside Toronto and Hamilton. London is a large city with a growing sports scene, great stadium infrastructure, and passionate fans who have long been starved for professional football. Could the London Thunder (or something equally cool) be next?

4. Winnipeg’s Second Team?

Winnipeg is already a CFL city, but imagine if the region had a second team to fuel local rivalries. While smaller markets often struggle with two teams, this idea could create one of the most intense rivalries in CFL history – a true “Battle of Manitoba.”

5. Vancouver Expansion

Vancouver already has the BC Lions, but some fans argue that the city could support another team in a neighboring suburb or across the Lower Mainland. This would make for exciting local derbies and give more fans access to live games.
