The league was delayed once again due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which created another modified, shortened schedule.{{Cite web|date=2021-05-30|title=CSL JOINS WITH PRIMETIME SPORTS MARKETING FOR BRIGHTER FUTURE........2026 World Cup year marks 100th anniversary|url=https://canadiansoccerleague.ca/csl-joins-with-primetime-sports-marketing-for-brighter-future-2026-world-cup-year-marks-100th-anniversary/|access-date=2021-05-30|website=Canadian Soccer League|language=en-US}} The regular season was reformatted into an invitational competition named the ProSound Cup, which featured permanent league members and invitational clubs.

In the opening weeks of the season, Scarborough held the top spot before relinquishing the position permanently to Vorkuta and finished as runner-up. In the opening round of the CSL Championship, the club faced the Serbian White Eagles, as Vorkuta was given a bye to the finals.{{Cite web|last=Stanchev|first=Stancho|date=November 4, 2021|title=Бивши играчи на "Беласица" и "Литекс" сътвориха голово зрелище в Канада|trans-title=Former Belasitsa and Litex players have created a goal in Canada|url=https://struma.bg/%d0%b1%d0%b8%d0%b2%d1%88%d0%b8-%d0%b8%d0%b3%d1%80%d0%b0%d1%87%d0%b8-%d0%bd%d0%b0-%d0%b1%d0%b5%d0%bb%d0%b0%d1%81%d0%b8%d1%86%d0%b0-%d0%b8-%d0%bb%d0%b8%d1%82%d0%b5%d0%ba%d1%81/|url-status=live|access-date=2021-12-02|website=Вестник СТРУМА|language=bg-BG|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211105234157/https://struma.bg/%D0%B1%D0%B8%D0%B2%D1%88%D0%B8-%D0%B8%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%B8-%D0%BD%D0%B0-%D0%B1%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0-%D0%B8-%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81/ |archive-date=2021-11-05 }} The match resulted in a victory for Scarborough, which marked the club's fifth consecutive championship final appearance. The eastern Toronto side successfully avoided a trophy-less season by defeating reigning champions Vorkuta for their second title.

The third position was contested between Atletico Sporting Toronto and BGH City FC, with Atletico ultimately securing the spot. Atletico Sporting Toronto, one of the invitational clubs, had an impressive run in the league, with the club holding the third position for the majority of the season. Toronto managed to gain a victory over the Serbian White Eagles and held Scarborough to a draw throughout the regular season. BGH City FC was formed after a merger between Brantford Galaxy and Hamilton City. The team held the third position just once throughout the season and consistently chased Atletico for the position. BGH City secured the final berth to the ProSound Cup but was ineligible to compete in the tournament due to financial issues.{{Cite web|last=Stanchev|first=Stancho|date=October 24, 2021|title=Мениджър от Брежани изведе "Скарбъро" до финал в Канада|trans-title=A manager from Brezani led Scarborough to the final in Canada|url=https://struma.bg/%d0%bc%d0%b5%d0%bd%d0%b8%d0%b4%d0%b6%d1%8a%d1%80-%d0%be%d1%82-%d0%b1%d1%80%d0%b5%d0%b6%d0%b0%d0%bd%d0%b8-%d0%b8%d0%b7%d0%b2%d0%b5%d0%b4%d0%b5-%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%b0%d1%80%d0%b1%d1%8a%d1%80%d0%be-2/|url-status=live|access-date=2021-12-02|website=Вестник СТРУМА|language=bg-BG|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211027013845/https://struma.bg/%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B6%D1%8A%D1%80-%D0%BE%D1%82-%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B6%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8-%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B5-%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B1%D1%8A%D1%80%D0%BE-2/ |archive-date=2021-10-27 }}

The Serbian White Eagles finished fifth in the standings with a single-point difference from BGH City. The White Eagles were originally managed by Uroš Stamatović, but after a string of poor performances, Zoran Rajović was named his successor. As BGH City was considered ineligible to compete in the ProSound Cup, their berth was given to Serbia. The Serbs were defeated in the opening round by Vorkuta. Toronto Tigers, another invitational club, finished sixth in the standings and were tied with Serbia with only a difference in goals scored. The remaining positions were contested between Euru Futbol Academy and St. Catharines Hrvat, with St. Catharines finishing seventh and Euru Futbol Academy finishing at the bottom of the standings.
