The Canadian Football League has announced they are in talks with executives from the American based XFL.
BREAKING: The #CFL will explore opportunities for alignment with @XFL2022 ownershiphttps://t.co/8Ni8HabpXp

In their media release, the CFL say that "XFL owners Dany Garcia, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and RedBird Capital have agreed to work together to identify opportunities for the leagues to collaborate, innovate, and grow the game of football."
A statement from Randy Ambrosie, Commissioner of the CFL says:
"Canada has an exciting game and devoted fans, and our discussion with the XFL provides a tremendous opportunity to build on that strong foundation.
"We look forward to exploring how we might work with one of the most innovative sports brands in the world to grow the game, engage fans in new ways, and reach new audiences. We look forward to seeing what possibilities our discussions might uncover, and to sharing those with our fans as the process unfolds."
The CFL, in the past, has made efforts to gain further audience in the United States, most directly through expansion into the country from 1993 to 1995.
The Baltimore Stallions became the only American-based team to win the Grey Cup championship, in 1995.
