The Canadian Football League is getting set for the 111th Grey Cup game, which will be held on Sunday, November 17, at B.C. Place in Vancouver.

Prior to Grey Cup week festivities kicking off in Vancouver, CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie and dignitaries from the Calgary Stampeders, City of Calgary, and Province of Alberta will gather in Calgary on Friday morning. 

It is widely expected that Calgary and McMahon Stadium will be named the 2026 Grey Cup hosts.  Calgary hasn’t hosted the game since 2019.

The 2025 Grey Cup game has already been awarded to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. They will host it on November 16, 2025, at Princess Auto Stadium.

This weekend, the combatants for the 111th game will be decided. The West Final has prairie rivals Winnipeg and Saskatchewan vying for a birth in the Championship game. For the Blue Bombers, it would be their fifth consecutive game in the final. Meanwhile, the Saskatchewan Roughriders haven’t played for the Grey Cup since hosting the game in 2013.

In the East Final, the defending Grey Cup champion Montreal Alouettes will host the Toronto Argonauts in a rematch of the 2023 East Final.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders travel to Winnipeg to take on the Blue Bombers in the West Final on Saturday. Countdown to Kick-off begins with Justin Dunk and Wes Cates at 2:30 p.m. Luc Mullinder and I join at 4:30 p.m. with the kick-off to follow at 5:30 p.m. on the Co-operators Roughrider Radio Network
