The Canadian Premier League has announced that the matchup between Forge FC and Pacific FC has been postponed due to worsening air quality conditions.

The match was set for 7 p.m. ET on Thursday in Hamilton.

The CPL said air quality conditions — caused by wildfires in northern Ontario — were monitored “throughout the day and deteriorated in the final hours leading up to kickoff.”
