CFL to Revise Air Quality Delay Rules After Regina Game Postponement

The CFL will collaborate with the players’ association to overhaul air quality thresholds for stronger player health protections.

Overview

  • AQHI readings at Regina’s Mosaic Stadium rose above the CFL’s safety threshold of eight on July 11, forcing the Roughriders–Stampeders contest to be postponed after nearly four hours of delays.
  • The extended wait exposed gaps in the league’s pre-game wildfire smoke protocol and left fans without consistent updates.
  • On July 14, the CFL announced it will review and adjust its weather delay procedures, including clearer guidelines for smoke-related interruptions.
  • The league will collaborate with the CFL Players’ Association to integrate the latest air quality research into revised AQHI thresholds.
  • Ticket holders for the postponed game can use their seats for Saturday’s rescheduled match or opt for refunds.
