TORONTO — Due to air quality concerns, the Canadian Football League (CFL) game between the Calgary Stampeders and the Saskatchewan Roughriders on July 11 has been postponed to Saturday, July 12 at 2 p.m. local/4 p.m. ET.

The decision was made by the CFL League Office, the competing teams and the CFL Players’ Association.

The game was originally scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. local/9 p.m. ET, before being delayed.
