The league announced Monday the sites for 16 neutral-site games for its third season, including eight in Canada.

The league will also return to Edmonton and Quebec City, which hosted games in the inaugural Takeover Tour last season.

Edmonton and Halifax will host two games, with the other Canadian neutral site hosting one.

Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Washington and Denver will host the eight neutral-site games in the United States.
