The CFL’s Invitational Combine will take place on Friday, March 3 at the University of Waterloo’s Feridun Hamdullahpur Field House. This event has replaced the league’s three regional combines, which used to take place across Canada in a lead-up to the main event later in the month.

This year’s CFL Combine will take place from March 22-26 at the Commonwealth Stadium Field House in Edmonton in an expanded five-day event that will reportedly feature approximately 85 prospects. Invitations for the combine have been distributed, though the list of prospects has yet to be unveiled.
