CBC will broadcast the first-ever Northern Super League final, which will be held at Toronto's BMO Field on Saturday, Nov. 15 at 2 p.m. ET.

The league made the announcement during halftime of Saturday's match between AFC Toronto and the Montreal Roses, which featured the two clubs leading the NSL standings.

The game will mark the first time a women's professional sports team championship will be held in Canada at a neutral-site venue.

"This moment is for the players, coaches and clubs who have given everything to build this league from the ground up — the long days, the early mornings, and the sacrifices they've made, all with one goal in mind: to win the NSL Final," said Diana Matheson, Founder & Chief Growth Officer of Northern Super League.

"The final is our chance to celebrate everything they've accomplished and to show the world what our athletes are truly capable of. It will be a historic moment — but also the start of something even bigger. We can't wait to share it with Canadians."

The game will also be broadcast nationally on TSN and RDS, with international coverage on ESPN+ and the NSL's official YouTube channel.

The league's playoff format will see the top four teams at the end of the regular season compete in a home-and-away semifinal series.

The two clubs with the highest aggregate scores will advance to the championship match at BMO Field, which will be hosted in partnership with host city club AFC Toronto
