Great news for Canadian football fans!

The CFL's season is about to start tonight.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the league's first game of the season.

Over 30,000 fans will be in attendance to watch the Grey Cup defending Bombers.

This year, each team will play 14 games instead of the usual 18, and it marks the first time in about two years the league has been in action.

The Toronto Argonauts will play their first game of the season Saturday against the Calgary Stampeders.
