The 2020 Canadian Championship final between Forge FC and Toronto FC will be played in the first quarter of 2021, Canada Soccer announced Wednesday.

The organization said in a release the final has been moved due to restrictions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. A date and location for the game have yet to be determined.

Hamilton-based Forge FC qualified for the final by finishing first at the Canadian Premier League’s Island Games in Charlottetown.
