Fierce rivalries and unreal moments culminate in the 112th Grey Cup on November 16 in Winnipeg
The upcoming Canadian Football League (CFL) season opens in Saskatchewan with the hometown Roughriders playing host to the Ottawa REDBLACKS. The 2025 schedule announcement presented by redtag.ca, will see all roads lead to the 112th Grey Cup at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg on Sunday, November 16.
“We’re thrilled to present the incredible season ahead with our brand of fun, fast and entertaining football,” said CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie. “Each offseason brings a wealth of intrigue – new leadership, game-changing acquisitions and much more. However the previous season finished, June 5 represents the start of something new – a clean slate filled with tantalizing possibilities and the chance for dreams to come true.”
The path to the 112th Grey Cup will be marked with summer evenings spent at stadiums across the country, must-see matchups to celebrate holidays, the latest unforgettable chapters in the OK Tire Labour Day Weekend rivalries and much more.
As the season advances, the CFL will return
to Canada’s most-watched conventional television network – CTV – with select regular season and playoff games, as well as the Grey Cup, broadcast on both CTV and TSN, delivering the league’s patented excitement and action to more fans throughout the country.
The 2025 season will be broadcast in Canada by Bell Media across TSN, CTV and RDS. In the U.S., select games will air exclusively on CBS Sports Network with the remaining contests available live and on-demand for a 48-hour window via the league’s free online streaming platform, CFL+. Viewers outside of North America will also be able to tune in on CFL+.
