Outline of Canadian football

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Canadian football:

Canadian football, or simply football, is a sport in Canada in which two teams of 12 players compete on a field 110 yards (101 m) long and 65 yards (59 m) wide, attempting to advance a pointed oval-shaped ball into the opposing team's end zone.

Canadian and American football have shared origins and are closely related, but have some significant differences. Canadian football is played with three downs, goalposts in the front of the end zone, and twelve players on each side. American football has four downs, goalposts in the back of the end zone, and eleven players on each side. Canadian football is also played on a wider and longer field, with deeper end zones.
