The Differences between American Football and Canadian Football (NFL vs CFL) - EXPLAINED! 

if this was one of your first attempts at a video II am very impressed, it was pretty high quality

Thanks man. I admit I got a few things wrong, but RU-vid doesn't let you edit any video without pulling it completely. Appreciate it dude.

Perhaps this individuals that are pointing out these errors watched the video on a mobile device (like myself), or a system that uses the RU-vid TV app, in which annotations do not appear, so we can't read those fixes. I'm impressed with the overall quality of the video though.

I didn't know that about mobile devices not turning on annotations by default. That's a new one on me. Thanks for the heads up and commenting on this video :)

Yeah, I just watched it on a mobile device and no annotations showed up. I was going to correct the two errors, also because I didn't see them.

+Matt Laq I used to watch when they're were US franchises, the most successful was the Baltimore Stallions who started as the CFLColts until the NFL stopped that and were known as the CFLs, until 1995 when they were renamed the Stallions, after they won the Grey Cup, Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore, and the league pulled of the US, the Stallions became the third incarnation of the Montreal Allouttes, They became successful once they left the Big Owe and moved to Molson Stadium at McGill University.

I dislike it because some teams refuse to run the ball in the CFL. No hard, tough, physical running game to be found in canadian football.

???? Please explain how RB's have 800~1,000 rushing yards seasons then? Here's the top 4 rushers from 2013, for example. It's just ignorant to say there's not a running game in The CFL. Yes, it is pass-heavy compared to the NFL. But the running game is very important for any Cup contending teams in the league; without one, teams rarely win The Grey Cup. CORNISH, Jon - CGY - 1813 Yds / SHEETS, Kory - SSK - 1598 Yds. / HARRIS, Andrew - BC - 998 Yds. / GABLE, CJ - HAM - 782 Yds.

Matt Laq ehhh I like the nfl more cause in the nfl we have those amazing catchs and those amazing plays that the cfl just can't match

Matt Laq I agree. I enjoy watching​ the CFL. I'd much rather watch a CFL game over preseason NFL or the Pro Bowl. Just because it has "NFL" attached to it, doesn't mean said game will be fun to watch.

I think the CFL tried to expand to the US in the 90's but it was a failed experiment. Other than that, I'm not sure why it's not more popular either. Possibly the dominance of the NFL and NCAA?

The Grey Cup for 2022 was FANTASTIC ! It was decided by 1 point in the last minute of the game ! Officiating was excellent and VERY FAIR also !😢

It has quite a following in the US and has always been on ESPN just never publicized. My dad use to watch it all the time in the 80s when I was a kid. The CFL also had a hand in the rise of the Baltimore Ravens. When the owner of the then Cleveland Browns saw that sell out crowds were drawn to the CFL team Baltimore Stallions, he abruptly moved the original Cleveland Browns to Baltimore. So it just showed the following of football in general whether Canadian or American.

Former Baltimore Stallions fan here. The only US team to take the Grey Cup out of Canada. Well for a couple of days.

Yeah, it's actually not bad. The 3 downs and the faster play clock means that it flows a lot quicker than the NFL. I personally prefer it, but I do watch the NFL religiously. Check out my channel for more like this :

Agreed. American football games last too long

@@NinhLyUK Also makes it more difficult for the team leading to run out the clock.

@@skojuzija *when your watching

no i disagree the cfl goes way to slow because they stop the play clock after every play

Absolutely! It's one of the interesting things about this game. Anything can happen, quite literally! Thanks for stopping by bro.

We call it The Waggle.

i feel like thats more tactical

One major aspect of the waggle is that it really changes the technique of the Defensive Backs. it is virtually impossible to jam a receiver who is coming to the line at speed and has a two way go. So DB's give the motion receivers more cushion and this makes coverage more difficult. It is one of the reasons why a tight end is rare in Canada Why use a receiver who is frozen until the snap? and more easily jammed.

@@brianmarks5926 so there are no tight ends in CFL?

Thanks for the comments Reinaldo, I'm glad you enjoy the game! Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

The CFL is more exciting than the NFL

Agreed, that'd be an interesting experiment!

Ninh Ly America hands down

Connor 703 yes I agree totally. But NFL would defenally beat cfl

NFL would beat them

NFL players would let Canadians win but CFL offense would destroy a NFL defensive minded squad

I know right 😂

Do they? I'm not so sure about that. All my Canadian friends and family don't refer to the CFL as 'amateur', but they acknowledge that they can't compete with the NFL. And thanks!

Only in Toronto as they think they are better than any other city in Canada. Not to me, I hate the place.

+William Colley Yes it does! I find that the start of the CFL season is a welcome start to 'football season'. I love both games too. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

Well done! You're one of the few people that actually realise that. I get a lot of people hating one or the other sport because they just don't understand that they're different sports, not the same sport played under different rules. Thanks for the comment, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

woah good point

Ninh Ly By the way union is much better than league. Union although it might have some breaks they're aren't as long as football breaks. Also league is too repetitive and union actually is quite fast now. Just watch some six nations and compare it to state of origin. Union has more diversity as it has more kicks and passing although the hits aren't as hards. Them scrums,the mauls, the competitive rucks,and the tension leading up to a penalty goal is what makes union far better. Don't forget the classy lineouts.I've watched both league and union and those were my observations based on that and I'm American so I did not really grow up with a certain code.

Sunjith Achanta I wouldn't say better, just different. There's a whole lot of people around my area (the entire North of England) and the whole country of Australia that will readily disagree with you. But you are entitled to your opinion, and I will not criticise anyone for having a brain of their own. Thanks for stopping by :)

Ninh Ly How are they different when they are both rugby? I'm not comparing cricket and soccer now. I'm comparing a sport that directly descended from the other because of the split of union.

Ah that's so cool! Yeah, a lot of people don't give enough credit for Canadian Football, but it's actually a fast paced game. A good reason to see the Tiger-Cats? Now's a good a time as any. Life is too short, go for it!

Hey Prophet. Thanks for the comment on my video. Yes, a lot of Americans are unaware that Canadian football even exists, let alone played by different rules. Be sure to subscribe and check out some of my other videos :)

@@NinhLyUK your right and wrong. The older generation does know about the cfl cause the cfl tryed expansion teams here in the US in the 80s I know cause my city San Antonio had one that played at Alamo stadium. Now the newer generation say 2000 and on probably most of them have never heard of the cfl because it's not a PlayStation game lol.

The CFL did a brief expansion in the US in the '90's, and some of the fields were smaller than regulation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Bowl_Memorial_Stadium

The first regular season CFL game in the United States was played in 1958

Cool, glad you like this video. Check out my channel for more like this :)

@@NinhLyUK It's a sad story how Canadian football failed so badly in the US, except for Baltimore. There's a whole, very detailed article on Wikipedia about it: _en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Football_League_in_the_United_States?wprov=sfla1_ Shout out to whomever wrote that article! I'm from Germany too and don't know to much about American or Canadian football but this article leaves nothing out. But I still don't get how it failed that bad in places like Vegas. Baltimore showed that it can be a success.

+Nicholas Garcia Yes it was! I know a lot of people would disagree, and quote this and that. But in terms of time-frame - Canadians played theirs first. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

+Nicholas Garcia It was invented first, but in its original iteration it looked a lot more like rugby union than it does today. Eventually, it adopted many of the American rules, which is why the two sports look very similar today.

silkentresses There is no denying that the Harvard-McGill game is very important in the history of American football, as it signaled the point that Americans began to shift away from association football type rules to rules that more closely resembled rugby union. So Canada was instrumental in introducing rugby to America. But it was an American, Walter Camp, who took those rugby-like rules and altered them to make them more closely resemble the games we know today. He was responsible for adding the line of scrimmage, down-and-distance, and blocking to the game, as well as standardizing the points system and the size of the field. Canada adopted the Burnside rules about 20 years after Camp made most of his innovations - the Burnside rules are very similar to the brand of American football that Camp pioneered. I'm not sure where you found that quote, but it doesn't gel with any of the history I have ever heard. I have always heard that it was Camp that reduced the number of players to 11 in 1880, several years after the Harvard-McGill game. Also, there wouldn't have been any downs used at all in 1874, since those were also added to the game by Camp in the 1880s as a direct response to teams abusing his scrimmage rules and holding on to the ball for long periods of time. He originally suggested three downs to move the ball five yards, which he later changed to four and ten. The Burnside rules introduced a similar setup - three downs and ten yards - to the Canadian game. So if the question is, "which nation played football of some kind first," the answer is Canada. But if the question is, "which nation introduced the rules that make gridiron football unique from soccer and rugby," the answer is the U.S.

Nicholas Garcia so. Is American football American Canadian football?

dude canadian invented pretty much every north american sport..... hockey.....football.....basketball....am not sure about soccer and baseball... but what i heard is that they invented them too am not sure if thats true

Thats for punts. Kick off is live

The 5 yards are given cuz of no fair catch

"No yards for punts" is true, except for the punter and anyone else who is behind him at the time the ball leaves his foot (they are said to be "onside"). The reason the no yards rule doesn't exist for Kick-offs is that everyone from the kicking team is behind the kicker (they are all onside). If anyone gets ahead of the kicker, they would be offside, which is not allowed, and would result in a penalty.

Also, the no yards rule has changed in 2022 to where the penalty being assessed for no yards in all instance is now 15 yards, whereas it used to be more or less depending on whether or not the ball was caught off the bounce or in-air - the same 5 yard halo still applies. In reality, both American and Canadian codes have some way to protect the returner, this is just the alternative to having a fair catch.

why is canada not spreading football over the world?

@@jmgonzales7701 Really it is all about money and resources. Most football organizations in Canada are busy trying to stay afloat, let alone try to go overseas. There is a CFL initiative to involve global players. Canada has chosen to involve itself in the IFAF program for Global tackle football and plays by American rules when competing interntionally. Sadly, the Americans have not shown interest in playing any of these matches by Canadian Rules

+kirk gauthier I agree. It's a shame that the CFL doesn't pack out their stadiums. I'm an Argos fan (obviously) and I went to a few games and it was quiet. But hardcore fans do exist in the CFL. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

Yah I'm a huge riders fan I have been to two games and the have best costume contest befor the game

Hamilton tigercats fans are pretty into it also.

@@NinhLyUK Is odd that it's so popular in western Canada and so ignored in Ontario. Vancouver also now has an attendance problem. It will be interesting to see if the new look Lions with a new coach can fill BC place again.

@Re Up True but Toronto is truly pathetic.

+Jonathan Foster Thanks Jonathan! I'm glad you approve of this football video. Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

yeah same i like the candadian rules, i hope it spreadsthrough the world. personally i cant decide which i like better, well American football is really popular and compared to Canadian football its very popular. I personally like smaller fields like you, i do not like higher scores since I'm more fan of the valuable scoring, i like more passing, and i also like that athletes are a little bit smaller since they are more nimble. and ofc i like that there is much more motion before the snap, however i like "Chess" like tactics that American football personally has.

Anytime, glad you like this video. If you get a chance, check out some CFL games - they're worth watching for sure. Check out my channel for more content like this :)

Wait until you hear that any player behind the punter is onside and can recover the punt. Rarely used, but touchdowns have been scored this way.

David J.Powell Yeah, the CFL is pretty cool! I too like the fact that the season starts before the American season, as you don't get to see many CFL games on TV when the NFL is in full swing. Thanks for the kind comments on this video, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

Just pray you don't have to listen to Rod Black calling a game. He's been calling games for 3 or 4 years now and still doesn't know squat about football. He knows hockey, he knows figure skating and he knows tennis (but then how many rules are there in tennis)... but he doesn't know football, which makes it extremely irritating to listen to him.

CHRIS CUTTBURT ABSOLUTE LEGEND!

Burnside rules were not fully accepted by the different rugby leagues through out Canada at the time. In fact the Western Rugby league totally rejected them.

Thanks for following our sport,i'm from Montreal and in schools were players are 17 to 20 years old,they play football with 4 downs on a canadian field,they want to give the kids the chance to realize more offensive plays.

Why do u like the sports that are less liked and less popular

The Ninja tuna I dunno. Must be unique I guess.

+ninh ly do u like rugby union?

Thanks man. Absolutely, it's a fantastic sport and I really think it should be more popular than it is. Check out my channel for more like this :)

Hey Wally1010. Thanks for the nice comment! Yeah, the CFL rocks, I'm always surprised that the CFL get so little recognition - even in a city like Toronto. I'm an Argos fan, and I think it's shambolic the way that nobody turns out for the games. Be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

Yes, I already know. There should be an annotation explaining the mistake in the video. Thanks.

Ninh Ly punts have to be touched by the other team i think that's what u we're trying to say

@@bradenv1693 Not in Canada for all. The Punter and anyone behind him at time of punt (Onside offensive player(s)) can recover the punted ball.

Correct on both points!

Excellent, thanks! Check out my channel for more like this :)

It doesn't make any sense to me either. Went to a Tornoto Argonauts game when I was in Canada once and had a great time. It was a lot more laid back than going to an NFL game.

I like the womans football too. with their skimppy outfits.

@@SeekerLancer If you don't want laid back, go to a riders home game. We're kind of insane because we don't have a major hockey League so we resort to football

Thanks. Glad you like this video.

right lmao

i know i feel like they hit harder and have more balls than the players in the nfl

Yes, I agree. They're both different sports and both good in different ways. To rag on one compared to the other would be to compare chalk and cheese. But sadly, there are some people who are so narrow minded that they can't see that. If you want a quick laugh, look at some of the narrow-minded comments in the comments section.

Baltimore Stallions... only American team to win the Grey Cup.

Sacramento, Shreveport, Memphis, San Antonio, and the one team the Toronto Argonauts didn't play - Birmingham.

Interesting advice for CFL newbies, given that you're a Lions fan.

Ninh Ly true

Leo Life There use to be a huge Canadian Air Force base near Winnipeg but it was closed down years ago. Hence the JETS in the NHL and the BLUE BOMBERS in the CFL; I suspect they put the 'Blue' in front of Bombers for obvious reasons.

Absolutely! I stayed up until 3:15 am here in the UK to watch my Toronto Argonauts win the 105th Grey Cup. What a game that was! I also won money betting on it too, so bonus there. The NFL really isn't that bad - I watch that religiously too. But for pure heart stopping action, it's the CFL every day of the week for me. Thanks Marco, great to have you stop by! :)

I was never into football until I lived in Hamilton , Black and gold ever since, go TiCats

robbie chartier Good year to be a Ticats fan. Living in Manitoba I’m a Bombers fan. Of course they started off great but with all the injuries it looks like I might have to say “Just wait till next year!” I’ve been saying that since 1991. They last won a cup in 1990. (Sigh)

@@RioAbajoBelen Yeah, how about those Bombers!! Grey Cup champs 2019

Agreed I'm from Canada and I agree with u aha👍🏽👍🏽

I prefer the CFL but after joining an NFL fantasy league have come to like the NFL as well. You're right that an NFL all-star steam would likely destroy a CFL all-star team, but that's not because the CFL game is inferior - it's because the US is 10 times larger than Canada and the NFL makes billions of dollars more than the CFL, which it invests (some of) back into the game. Comparing the two leagues is like comparing apples to oranges. Personally, I think you can enjoy both (I also enjoy NCAA football quite a bit) without getting into a dick swinging contest about who's players are "better".

NFL defense will not have the cardio to play on CFL rules on a CFL field.

+SteelerNation22 College team aren't as good as professional teams but they can have more exciting games. But ya, comparing Canadian football players to American football players is like comparing American Hockey players to Canadian Hockey players, there is no comparison.

brownsupahero What the hell did you just say LMAO

well didn't play but was cut by Calgary.

Thanks Joanne, much appreciated.

I don't even bother to follow NFL football anymore .

thank you

The ball only needs to go 10 yds. Not needing to be touched by opponent. It is more helpful though to make it seem like as other teammate will have it

Warren moon was the first African American NFL hall of famer, he started in the cfl and after that played for 4 NFL teams but he was considered greatest at the Houston Oilers.

Madden follower there is no nfl hall of fame its called the Pro Football Hall of Fame

Ninh Ly players are not picked twice any more because the cfl draft is after the nfl draft but at one time it was like that

CFL is great! The play is wide open and even a team with a 30 point deficit can come back and win. ESPN shows games in the US so it's easy enough to find. Thanks for your comments bro!

I believe that was an oversight. But thanks for the comments! :)

The wide open nature of the CFL game means that 4 downs would be a nearly insurmountable advantage for the offense. The use of 3 downs fits the balance between offense and defense. When you think of it; after 150 yrs, the game has evolved to a place where all the rules more or less mesh sufficiently for the game. The statement in the video appears to be a bit of a mistake.

I thought so too. Thanks man :)

Playoff games are more exciting for sure, you tend to get a lot of mismatched teams in the regular season. that said, this season has been fairly even across the board bar one or two teams ... just like the CFL.

yup the green gophers that steal nicknames

Hi Andy. Thanks man, I appreciate the comments. The CFL does have its own draft and they get a few players from that, but most import players are signed as free agents from the NFL or NCAA.

@@NinhLyUK Canadian teams all have a list of protected players from the States such that if a player is cut in the NFL and is on that list his first signing option would be that team.

+bulldogsbob Interesting comparison. I have to agree with you, there isn't that level of animosity between the two footballs than there are between the two rugby's. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

Hey Eric. I'm pretty sure the NFL rules the missed field goal as dead. But you are right, in NCAA it is ruled live. Because a live missed field goal rarely happens, I had to make a few sweeping generalities with regard to some of the rules. Explaining the rule differences between Canadian Football, NFL Football, NCAA Football & International American Football would have confused the crap out of everyone! Thanks again!

Ninh Ly You can indeed advance a ball in American Football after a field goal miss. Ravens Chris McAlister 107 yard field goal return

Ninh Ly Because the goalposts are at the back of the endzone in US football, the ball is rarely in play on a missed FG. Usually the only time you see it is at the end of the first half (or in the Auburn/Alabama game at the end of regulation.) In most other occurances, either the ball goes into the stands, or if it is caught short, it would actually be a better outcome for the team to take the ball at the point of the kick instead of try to run it 55yds out of the endzone.

Ninh Ly The ball on the kick becomes dead in both codes on hitting the ground in the end zone untouched by a player, but otherwise the ball becomes dead only at the regular termination of play regardless it was an attempt at goal. In Federation rules (played by most high schools in the USA and most children's football) the kick becomes dead at the plane of the opposing goal line (if failing to score), but otherwise regardless of whether it was an attempt at goal, just like a punt, the spot of the next snap is according to regular rules, and does not come back to either the previous spot or the spot of the kick. NFL distinguished play from a field goal attempt from that of a punt in 1974, and NCAA later, while the Federation never did.

Awesome, it's worth a watch for sure!

+footballrecruit1 Oh for sure. I'm sure if the CFL paid more, we'd see a more level playing field in terms of quality of players. You quickly get used to the goalposts being at the front of the endzone. Thanks for stopping by, be sure to share this video and subscribe :)

@@NinhLyUK The goal posts used to be in front of the end zone. They moved them back in the '60s or so.

If you need anymore help, I also did a rules of Canadian Football video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gumZEVzE7I4.html But yeah, CFL is great!
