RISE TO THE NORTH isn’t just a tagline. It’s our call to arms. Rivals fall. Battles intensify. The summit draws closer. And match by match, moment by moment, one club will stand above the rest. The North Star Cup raised high. A nation united. Canadian football ascends to new heights. This is more than football. This is the moment.
This is where we RISE TO THE NORTH.

The climb intensifies in The Playoffs, where five clubs enter the gauntlet, and only two reach the summit.
It begins with The Ascent: a knockout clash between the 4th- and 5th-place finishers.
The journey continues in The Climb, as the survivor meets the 3rd-place club.
At the top, the league’s best collide in a Summit Showdown for the right to host the CPL Final.
And there is one last Gateway to Glory, where the final ticket to the North Star Cup is won or lost.
At last, the summit: The CPL Final.
One match. One trophy. Ninety minutes to decide it all. Two clubs enter, but only one will rise above the rest to lift the North Star Cup.
Fans rally for their clubs, voices echoing across the country, as the season reaches its ultimate crescendo. A champion is crowned, a legacy sealed, and a place earned on the continental stage in the Concacaf Champions Cup — the crowning achievement of a climb that ends here..
