=== Overtime ===
In the CFL, if the game is tied at the end of regulation play, then each team is given an equal number of offensive possessions to break the tie. A coin toss is held to determine which team will take possession first; the first team scrimmages the ball at the opponent's 35-yard line and conducts a series of downs until it scores or loses possession. If the team scores a touchdown, starting with the 2010 season, it is required to attempt a two-point conversion.<ref name="TSN-Rules2010">{{cite web|author = The Canadian Press |author-link= The Canadian Press |title = CFL approves rule requiring two-point convert attempts in OT |publisher = CTVglobemedia |date = 2010-04-14 |url = http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=317959 |access-date = 18 April 2010 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110606233533/http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=317959 |archive-date = 2011-06-06 |url-status = dead}}</ref> The other team then scrimmages the ball at the opponent's 35-yard line and has the same opportunity to score. After the teams have completed their possessions, if one team is ahead, then it is declared the winner; otherwise, the two teams each get another chance to score, scrimmaging from the other 35-yard line. After this second round, if there is still no winner, during the regular season the game ends as a tie. In a playoff game, the teams continue to attempt to score from alternating 35-yard lines, until one team is leading after both have had an equal number of possessions.

In U Sports football, for the [[Uteck Bowl]], [[Mitchell Bowl]], and [[Vanier Cup]], the same overtime procedure is followed until there is a winner.
