The Canadian Football League (CFL) has signed two new partnerships with SiriusXM and Canadian North over the last few days.

SiriusXM , the country’s leading audio entertainment company, has renewed their partnership with the CFL to offer SiriusXM subscribers across North America live broadcasts of the 2014 and 2015 CFL seasons, including French language broadcasts of all Montréal Alouettes and Ottawa Redblacks games.

“It is important to us to be able to offer our subscribers access to play-by-play of the CFL wherever they are,” said John Lewis, Senior Vice President, Programming, SiriusXM Canada. “The league is more exciting than ever with the addition of a new team, new stadiums and even more action from across the clubs and we’re proud to be a part of that.”

“We are thrilled to continue partnering with SiriusXM, now for a ninth year,”said Michael Copeland, President and Chief Operating Officer for the CFL. “Their subscriber base gives us the opportunity to serve our fans across North America and attract even more people to our game and our league.”

Canadian North Named Official Airline

The CFL also announced a partnership with Canadian North designating the Canadian company as the official airline of CFL.

This new three-year partnership will include flying the East and West Division Champions to the 102nd Grey Cup game in Vancouver this November.

“There is nothing more Canadian than the CFL and we are excited to be partnering with both the league and the Grey Cup,” said Steve Hankirk, President of Canadian North. “We’re thrilled to broaden our relationship with the CFL and believe this creates opportunities for more teams to charter with Canadian North.” 

Mark Cohon, Commissioner of the Canadian Football League, said: “Canadian North prides itself in contributing to the communities it serves, and that makes the airline a great fit for our league, which has a long history of doing the same.”
