The Canadian Premier League Awards is a ceremony held annually at the end of each Canadian Premier League season. There are a total of seven individual awards given to players or coaches based on their performance in the regular season. For the majority of the awards, nominees are selected by the league and voted on by members of the media. The winner of each award receives an Inuit soapstone sculpture designed by artists from Cape Dorset, Nunavut.[1]

Logo of the CPL Awards

The CPL Awards were first held in 2019 and included five honours (Golden Boot, Golden Glove, Coach of the Year, U21 Canadian Player of the Year, and Player of the Year).[2] The awards initially took into account performance across the whole CPL season, including playoffs and finals.[1]

In 2022, two new awards were added (Defender of the Year and Players' Player of the Year) and all awards became based solely on performance in the regular season.[3] The timing of the ceremony was also shifted to be held a few days before the CPL final and in the city that is hosting the final. In 2024, a Finals MVP trophy was added.[4]
