The 2024 CFL global draft was a selection of non-Canadian and non-American players by Canadian Football League (CFL) teams that took place on April 30, 2024, at 11:00 am ET.[1] It was the fourth CFL draft that pooled all of the global players together after previously having separate drafts for Mexican players and European players in 2019.[2]

Draft format

As per the league's draft tracker, the draft featured two rounds with a total of 18 selections.[3] This was the first season where the league did not alter the format of the global draft from the prior year.[4] [5] The draft order was based on the waiver priority (reverse standings from the previous year).[3]
