The Edmonton Elks at Toronto Argonauts game, which was postponed from August 26 because of Covid-19 concerns, has been successfully rescheduled to Tuesday, November 16 at 7:30 pm EST, the Canadian Football League (CFL) announced today.

We want to thank all of them, and our fans, for the patience while this complicated task was being finalized,” Elks President and CEO Chris Presson stated.
“Our schedule, and the schedules of others, shifting in this way is a complex task requiring consensus from all involved. We are grateful that all our partners were able to come together, and ensure that the 2021 season stayed whole.”

Since the realigned schedule results in the Elks playing a series of three games over a period of seven days, the CFL and the Canadian Football League Players Association have agreed that both teams can each add an additional five players to their active rosters for the following games:
