DAZN has added James Cybulski and Brit Dort to its CFL broadcast roster, it was announced on Thursday.

Cybulski will be the lead play-by-play man for Saturday Night Football in Canada. The Ottawa native has worked for theScore, TSN, and Sportsnet. Most recently, he’s called Abbotsford Canucks and Vancouver Goldeneyes games, but the 2011 Gemini award-winner might be best known as the main voice in EA Sports’ NHL video game series.

Dort will host the panel, leading the network’s pre-game, halftime and post-game coverage throughout the season. The Saskatchewan native has been a sideline reporter for the CFL on TSN since 2022.

Cybulski forms a tandem with Shawn Lemon in the booth, while Dort will be on the desk with Chris Streveler and Simoni Lawrence.

“Building a broadcast team that reflects the passion, personality and knowledge of the CFL and its fans was one of our top priorities,” said DAZN Canada vice president Deidra Dionne in a statement.

“Brit, James, Shawn, Simoni and Chris each bring a unique perspective to our coverage, whether through compelling storytelling, engaging play-by-play or first-hand experience on the field. Together, they will help create an authentic viewing experience for fans as DAZN begins a new era of CFL coverage.”

Starting in 2027, DAZN will be the home for Saturday Night Football in Canada at 7:00 p.m. ET, delivering 21 consecutive weeks, including one preseason game, and two exclusive playoff matchups.

DAZN will also become the global home for CFL broadcasts, with every game available to fans worldwide, excluding the U.S., including the playoffs and Grey Cup. All CFL games will be available for free on DAZN outside North America.
