*Total of two matches.

We’re seeing a few teams failing to meet expectations on the attendance front, such as FC Edmonton and Cavalry FC (Calgary), but at the end of the day we’re still talking about a startup league with a limited number of games played so far this season. There was a lot of preseason interest in the Canadian Premier League, and fans are expecting a lot of success in the new circuit.
