We recap a wild weekend in the CPL Playoffs, and preview next Sunday's Contender Semifinal.

The 2025 CPL Playoffs continued on Sunday, and we learned one of the two finalists for this year. Atlético Ottawa took down Forge in Hamilton, and now know they'll be playing in the CPL Final at home on Nov. 9.

Meanwhile, Cavalry FC knocked York United out of the postseason with a resounding 4-1 win at ATCO Field; the Cavs are headed to Hamilton now, as the two longtime foes will play a Contender Semifinal for the last spot in the Final.

On this week's CPL Newsroom presented by Volkswagen, Charlie O'Connor-Clarke, Mitchell Tierney and Alexandre Gangué-Ruzic break down both playoff games from Sunday, and also offer up a preview of next Sunday's Forge-Cavalry clash.

The CPL Newsroom presented by Volkswagen is available every week at YouTube.com/CPLSoccer, with the full show available in audio form on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
