The 113th Grey Cup is set: the Montreal Alouettes will meet the Edmonton Elks on Sunday, 15 November 2026, at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, at 6:00 p.m. ET. Both CFL Division Finals were decided on Saturday, 7 November.
In the East Final at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium in Montreal, in front of 23,035 fans, Montreal beat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 33–23. Davis Alexander threw for 373 yards and two touchdowns on 23 of 35 passing. Tyson Philpot had 129 receiving yards, Tyrice Beverette forced a pivotal late fumble, and Alexander’s 21-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Snead with 1:11 left sealed it. Winnipeg led the crossover race, but no crossover team has ever reached the Grey Cup.
Montreal return to the Grey Cup after losing last season’s final to Saskatchewan. It is their third Grey Cup appearance in four years.
In the West Final in Edmonton, the Elks beat the B.C. Lions 28–16. Cody Fajardo engineered two fourth-quarter touchdowns — a five-yard rushing touchdown and a 23-yard touchdown pass — after B.C. tied the game 16–16 in the fourth. Edmonton have staged the greatest year-over-year turnaround in franchise history, from last in the West in 2025 to first place in 2026.
It was a huge weekend for Canadian sport, from the Winnipeg Jets beating the Vancouver Canucks 6-2 on Thursday to the Maple Leafs-Canadiens rivalry game on Saturday night. The Grey Cup is on 15 November in Calgary.
