The Canadian Football League season could continue to creep back toward the start of June.

But commissioner Randy Ambrosie said there are no plans to have a regular season game in May, at least not yet.

Ambrosie spoke to the media prior to kickoff of the CFL’s 2018 season opener between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Edmonton Eskimos at Investors Group Field in Winnipeg on Thursday.

June 14 is the earliest regular season game in CFL history, besting the previous record set on June 15, 2004, between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Toronto Argonauts.

With the season expected to start even earlier next year, Ambrosie said moving the calendar back is an ongoing conversation that’s important to keep talking about.

“Wouldn’t it be great to play more and more in conditions like this?” Ambrosie said, noting that a preseason game in Edmonton and Friday’s game were both played under splendid conditions.
