This year's CPL is the first senior competition in the world to trial a new version of the offside rule, where offside is only called when there is "clear daylight" between the attacker and the last defender, following proposals from FIFA Chief of Global Football Development, Arsène Wenger.  The proposed trial was approved by the IFAB in February 2026. The league is also implementing football video support (FVS). To enhance match tempo and reduce time wasting, rules changes such as a five-second countdown on throw-ins and goal kicks, ten seconds to leave the field for a substitution, and a one minute holdout period to return from an injury, are also being implemented. The playoff structure was reduced from five to four teams, returning to the format used in 2022.


Eight teams are competing in the 2026 season with the debut of FC Supra du Québec, and the dissolution of Valour FC.
Inter Toronto FC is playing its first season after being renamed, having previously competed as York9 FC and more recently York United FC.

New club FC Supra du Québec have only signed players from Quebec. A little Atletico Bilbao strategy.
