Talks between the CFL and CFL Players’ Association broke off Saturday, hours before the collective bargaining agreement was set to expire.

Players on seven of the league’s nine teams were in a legal strike position at 12:01 a.m. ET on Sunday.

Both the Calgary Stampeders and Edmonton Elks opened camp as scheduled Sunday.

Their players won’t be in a legal strike position until later this week, as per Alberta’s labour laws.

There’ve been no new talks scheduled for the league and CFLPA.

The CFL exhibition season is currently scheduled to begin May 23 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers visiting the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
