Football fans will flock to Moncton for an afternoon CFL game instead of at night.

The Montreal Alouettes and Toronto Argonauts will now kickoff during Touchdown Atlantic at 1pm on August 25th.

The game was originally scheduled to be played at the Moncton Stadium at 7:30.

Schooners Sports and Entertainment says they had heard an afternoon start is preferred by fans who are coming from outside the region for the game.

The #CFL is coming to Moncton, New Brunswick for Touchdown Atlantic 2019 as the @TorontoArgos take on the @MTLAlouettes !

Please note the new kickoff time of 1:00 PM ADT | https://t.co/76WjTRQ2Se
