The Canadian Major Football League (CMFL) is the national governing body for semi-pro Canadian football (formally known as the Canadian Senior Football League), dedicated to advocating for the promotion of Canadian senior football.
The CMFL was formed in 1999 by the Alberta Football League (AFL) and Manitoba Football League (MFL) in attempt to crown the amateur national champion of Canada, and replaced the Canadian Senior Intermediate championship game. Since 2002 the game has been played between the AFL and Northern Football Conference (NFC) league champions. The two leagues cooperate but remain legally separate entities.[1]
In 2024 the two leagues reaffirm the agreement,[2] after several teams split from the NFC and founded the Ontario Power 5 Football League.[3]
