Only a guess here... likely due to their contract coming to an end vs just dropping it.

I have noticed that Global has not been running Saturday Night Live for the past few weeks. Maybe this was part of the agreement but the show left Global about a month before the new season and debut on CTV on Sept 26 for season 52. 

Meanwhile SNL UK continues on.  Here is a funny sketch they did for their opening, taking a real shot at Harry and Meghan and their return to the UK...Prince Harry and Meghan's U.K. return gets a very British roast in Saturday Night Live UK sketch | CBC News

 
I watched the season opener of SNL UK as well. The Harry & Meghan sketch was probably the best in this episode. I “get” British humour yet I find SNL UK is neither British or funny a lot of the time. I watched the entire last season so I am familiar with the writing and it still needs work. Also, the musical guest was CMAT and I wasn’t impressed, although she’s doing well over there! Each to their own….
