I was excited to learn that the first competition of the 2023 Canadian domestic soccer calendar has been set as Canada Soccer today revealed dates for the 2023 Canadian Championship, featuring an unprecedented 14 clubs. The first round of the Voyageurs’ Cup competition involving 12 teams begins April 18. Last year’s champions Vancouver Whitecaps and runners up Toronto FC each earned a bye to the quarterfinals, which will be played in early May, followed by the semifinal phase later in the month. The final will be scheduled for some time in June. The winner moves on to represent Canada at a newly expanded CONCACAF Champions League in 2024.
As with all domestic competitions, the Canadian Championship will be broadcast live on Mediapro Canada’s streaming service OneSoccer, which begins its fifth season as the exclusive provider of Canadian domestic soccer action. In the previous four years, OneSoccer has covered over 530 games involving Canadian teams. In 2022, its YouTube channel drew over 8.8 million views, up 40% from 2021, while its Twitter page recorded nearly 40 million impressions, up a whopping 267% over 2021.
I’m very proud to be associated with Mediapro/OneSoccer and look forward to calling more Canadian Premier League and Canadian Championship matches in 2023, alongside some of the best soccer commentators and analysts in the business. We now look forward to the release of the 2023 CPL schedule in the days ahead.
