The league indicated that this change was made to create a “Friday night football frenzy” featuring a pair of doubleheaders. The other two matchups that same evening will include the Calgary Stampeders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers at 8:30 p.m. EDT and Edmonton Elks and B.C. Lions at 10:00 p.m. EDT.

It remains unclear how many preseason games will be televised on TSN.

This year’s CFL regular season will begin on Thursday, June 6 when the Montreal Alouettes visit the Winnipeg Blue Bombers for a rematch of the 110th Grey Cup.
