Here’s the latest on CFL schedule news for 2026.
- Release date: The CFL schedule for 2026 was officially unveiled on December 9, 2025. This is consistent with the league’s move to announce earlier than in some prior seasons.[2][3]
- Season kickoff: The 2026 campaign begins on Thursday, June 4, with Montreal at Hamilton kicking things off, followed by targeted Week 1 matchups across the league.[2]
- Grey Cup: The 113th Grey Cup is scheduled for November 15, 2026, in Calgary.[2]
- Notable scheduling details: The slate features a 21-week regular season with a three-bye structure for each team, and a mix of relocated or adjusted game dates/times to accommodate logistics. Some sources highlight a weekend-heavy start and notable early-weekend games across multiple markets.[3][7]
If you’d like, I can pull the exact Week-by-Week schedule (dates, opponents, times) or create a compact calendar you can import into a personal planner. I can also provide a quick comparison of how the 2026 schedule differs from 2025 (e.g., start date, Grey Cup date, number of byes) if that helps.
