When - 2025 CFL Schedule Release

[ModAdmin]

So the latest rumour on the 2025 CFL Schedule release is "early January".  Apparently there has been more discussion around optimum playing dates (during the week games) for next season.

I don't want to see a GC rematch in week 1.  Like last season, we'll get creamed, especially whilst working the kinks out with a new OC!

There was a year a couple of years back where we didn't get the rematch until late in the season, right?  Ya, do that again.

I think the league did that intentionally because they thought it was the best way to kick off the new season with a great game, so I wouldn't expect them to change their strategy to suit the Bombers preference for an easier start.

I wonder if the FIFA World Cup is affecting the 2025 schedule.

In 2026, FIFA has full control of BMO Field & BC Place to start the season (BC Place is not available to the Lions until mid July). The Toronto Argonauts & BC Lions are going to drive the schedule in 2026 for both home dates and byes.

Perhaps the remaining teams are trying to get their asks in for the 2025 season knowing that it will be much harder to do so in 2026.

I hope we continue to get more weekend games. I don't really care though.

Weekend evenings!  I hate the 2pm ones, though I can make an exception for the Banjo Bowl.
