The Central Alberta Buccaneers now have a new schedule for the 2019 Alberta Football League season.
After the Grande Prairie Drillers unexpectedly dropped from the league because of a lack of commitment, schedule changes had to be made.
The Bucs will still start the regular season on May 25, then still play their first home game on June 1 at 6 p.m. against the defending national champion Fort McMurray Monarchs.
With the Drillers leaving the league, there have been some changes to our schedule. All home games will take place at Setters Place in @CityofRedDeer and kickoff will be at 6 pm for all but the June 22 game which kicks off at 2pm to accommodate our Pub Night at @BosBarRD pic.twitter.com/Juk3D5bfum

On the original schedule, the Bucs were set to play the Drillers in Lacombe on June 8. They will now host all four home games this season at Setters Place at Great Chief Park. For the June 22 game against the Cold Lake Jets, kickoff is 2 p.m. Each additional home game, July 13 and 20, kickoff is 6 p.m. at Setters Place.
The AFL semifinal is Aug. 17 and the final is set for Aug. 24.
