When - 2025 CFL Schedule Release

ModAdmin · December 27, 2024, 04:53:35 AM

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.

We don't play an eastern team until Tor week 8?

Weird

2025 Blue Bombers Schedule

Not much to complain about. Nicely spaced bye weeks.
Nice mixture of Thursday and cherished weekend games.

Dislike starting with a bye and having another withing the summer. The summer games are the best part about being a STH and we're leaving a couple on the table with this schedule, including a late fall one against Sask which would be an easy sellout and raucous crowd on a Friday night in June or July.

Overall I think this schedule fares poor against previous years.

Riders 5 times including 2 back to backs? Gonna get tired of seeing those guys this year.
