The Toronto Argonauts and Winnipeg Blue Bombers are set to face off in the 111th Grey Cup, the Canadian Football League (CFL) championship game, on Sunday, November 17, 2024, at BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:00 PM ET.
Path to the Championship
Toronto advanced to the Grey Cup after defeating the Montreal Alouettes 30-28 in the Eastern Final, while Winnipeg secured their spot by beating the Saskatchewan Roughriders 38-22 in the Western Final. This matchup is a rematch of the 2022 Grey Cup, where Toronto emerged victorious with a narrow 24-23 win.
Historic Rivalry
These teams bring impressive championship pedigrees to the contest. The Argonauts boast the most Grey Cup victories in league history with 18 wins (18-6 overall record) in their 25 appearances. The Blue Bombers lead all CFL teams with 31 championship game appearances, holding a 12-18 record in the Grey Cup. This will be their fifth consecutive Grey Cup appearance, though they’re currently on a two-game losing streak after winning in both 2019 and 2021.
2024 Season Matchups
Toronto has had Winnipeg’s number this year, winning both regular-season meetings – a 16-14 overtime victory at home on July 27 and a 14-11 road win on October 11.
