CALGARY — The CFL’s championship game is coming back to Calgary in 2026 — an announcement that has raised renewed questions over what is to be done with the city’s aging McMahon Stadium.
"The 2026 Grey Cup has been awarded to the Calgary Stampeders, to the City of Calgary and to the province of Alberta," CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie told a news conference Friday.The 113th Grey Cup is set for Nov. 15, 2026 at the Stampeders’ McMahon Stadium home.This year’s cup goes Nov. 17 in Vancouver. The Montreal Alouettes play the Toronto Argonauts this weekend and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers host the Saskatchewan Roughriders to determine the finalists.
McMahon, which is owned by the University of Calgary and operated by the McMahon Stadium Society, was built in 1960. Ambrosie said he has a soft spot for McMahon after playing first for the Stampeders, followed by Toronto and Edmonton. Stampeders president Jay McNeil said he remains hopeful a new stadium will eventually be built now that a deal for a new NHL arena for the Calgary Flames was settled.
