Canadian music and the Canadian Football League (CFL) are partnering in serious fashion this season via the Thursday Night Football Concert Series. This partnership between the League and Universal Music Canada sees major Canadian acts entertaining fans at nine games between June 13 and Aug. 8.

Additionally, the CFL and Universal Music Canada expanded their partnership to include in-game broadcast music exclusivity and working with individual teams for music-related gameday themes, raising the excitement level of the CFL gameday experience.

In a press release, Kristen Burke, Executive Vice President and General Manager at Universal Music Canada, states “There’s nothing like the energy you feel from a crowd rooting for their team or an audience singing at the top of their lungs during a live show. After a successful partnership during the 2018 season, we’re thrilled to bring another year of electrifying live concerts from our roster of exciting artists to Thursday Night Football fans."

“We saw increased exposure for our 2018 performers from football fans across the country, and we’re back in 2019 with another not-to-be-missed line-up.”

Vanessa Morbi, CFL Vice President, Marketing and Digital, states, “The energy surrounding Thursday Night Football has been a resounding success with the addition of live concerts to our game nights.

"Our fans have responded to the excitement: the CFL saw a 20 percent increase in the 18-to-49 demographic on television and the property has quickly become the highest-rated weeknight on the CFL schedule.”
