Concrete plans for the start of the 2021 Canadian Football League season could be at hand.

TSN Football Insider Dave Naylor reports the league's board of governors have set a June 14 call where they are expected to vote on a proposed season start date of August 5.

As for the potential for crowds in the stands, Naylor notes that a committee representing Ontario's seven professional teams (Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Raptors, Toronto Argonauts, Toronto FC, Toronto Blue Jays, Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Ottawa Redblacks) submitted a proposal seeking up to 35 per-cent capacity during Ontario's Stage 2 reopening and full capacity for Stage 3.

With 21 days set to elapse between stages and Ontario sent to move into Stage 1 on Friday, Stage 2 could come as early as July 2.

The 2020 CFL season was cancelled entirely due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
