2022 CFL Global Draft
The 2022 CFL Global Draft is a selection of non-Canadian and non-American players by Canadian Football League (CFL) teams that is scheduled to take place on May 3, 2022. It will be the second CFL Draft that pools all of the global players together after previously having separate drafts for Mexican players and European players in 2019.[1][2] 27 players will be chosen from among eligible players following the CFL Combine in March.[2] Similar to the previous year's draft, this is a snake draft with the even-numbered rounds being the reverse order of the odd-numbered rounds.[3]
