The 2024 CFL Combine will be held in Winnipeg from March 19-24, while the 2025 CFL Combine has been awarded to Regina.

“We’re excited to partner with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers next year and the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2025, to set the stage for future players entering our league,” said Greg Dick, the CFL’s chief football operations officer and head of Grey Cup and events, in a statement.

“The Combine is a vital tool for GMs, coaches, and scouts to evaluate the incoming class of Canadian and Global talent in person, but beyond that, being invited is also a hard-earned reward for top-flight young players after years of determination, training, and sacrifice.”

The 2024 CFL Combine will follow the same five-day format that was introduced in Edmonton in 2023. Players will conduct medical testing and measurements on day one, followed by traditional testing events on day two. Days three to five will include practice sessions featuring individual drills and one-on-ones with CFL coaches leading positional groups. The event will be livestreamed on CFL+.

“We are fortunate to have had some incredible homegrown players wear blue and gold over the years, and their CFL journeys began with the CFL combine,” said Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ president and CEO Wade Miller. “We are thrilled to be able to host this showcase of local talent here in Winnipeg next spring.”

The CFL will again host a Kicking Combine in San Diego in January before the Invitational Combine at the Feridun Hamdullahpur Field House at the University of Waterloo on March 8. The top performers from the event will then get a chance to move on to the main event in Winnipeg later that month.

Full event details will be made available in the new year.
