The Saskatchewan Roughriders will be making their way back to the field this August. 

The Canadian Football League announced Monday that its board of governors has voted unanimously to return to play on August 5.

The league will have a shortened 14 game season which will lead up to the 108th Grey Cup on December 12 in Hamilton, Ont. 

CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie says that they're currently on track to receive all the health and safety approvals necessary. CFL governors also signed a collective bargaining agreement with the CFL Players Association, as that made the decision a lot less stressful.

The 2021 CFL season schedule will be released Tuesday, as well as each team's plans for how they will sell tickets, and - where government restrictions on stadium capacity allow - ticket sales to the general public. CFL training camps are scheduled to begin on July 10.

Opening day on August 5th will mark the first CFL game since the 107th Grey Cup was played on November 24, 2019.
