2026 Grey Cup

[ModAdmin]

CFL has announced the 2026 Grey Cup game/event will be in Calgary in 2026.

Interesting the GC game is in the west for 3 consecutive years - 2024 Vancouver, 2025 Winnipeg, 2026 Calgary.

CALGARY — The Canadian Football League on Friday announced that the Calgary Stampeders will host the 113th Grey Cup at McMahon Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026.

This will be the sixth time Calgary hosts the Grey Cup – the game was previously played at McMahon in 1975, 1993, 2000, 2009 and 2019.

What a terrible choice.

- They just had it in 2019
- It is a decrepit corpse of a stadium that needs to be torn down
- Their fan engagement and attendance is at an all time low
- Probably have the lowest odds (at this point in time) of appearing in a coming Grey Cup

I can't think of a single reason to have a Cup in Calgary right now.

Couldn't agree more. But maybe this is by design...?

Give McMahon one last big show and then hopefully try and push for a new home for the Stampeders, so the next time Calgary hosts the Grey Cup it won't be in a derelict dump.

My crazy theory, anyway.

McMahon is trash.

McMahon is showing it's age for sure,   but it's not a dump!
almost every seat has a good view of the field.
concessions areas are under par, but old Taylor field was a much bigger dump in my estimation.

With Grey Cup coming to Calgary, talks to replace McMahon Stadium underway

Was kind of expecting a return to the East and likely Ottawa.
But that being said, the fan base strength of the league is still the West.

Bombers in either reload or rebuild mode by then. So unlikely they will be in that game. As I live in Calgary will go to the GC festival events and maybe hang out near the stadium game day for pre-game events. Probably scoop up el-cheapo tix once the game starts if Stamps or Riders are not in it.
