2015 CFL Week 1 TV Schedule & Announcing Assignments


Yes, I realize I stopped posting the CFL after Week 10 last year, but I'm going to try it again so there will be something to post regularly during the summer. The CFL returns to regular season action this Thursday. ESPN is upping the number of games being shown this season to 20. In fact all but 2 of the Thursday Night Football games before college football starts up will be on ESPN2. Currently only 1 of the 20 broadcasts is scheduled for ESPNews, with the other 19 on ESPN2. 

The remaining 69 games will all be shown on ESPN3. Here's your Week 1 schedule as well as the US television plans. Announcers will be filled in as soon as I can find out which ones are calling each game.
