The CFL playoffs are headed back to Mosaic Stadium for the first time since 2021.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders clinched a home playoff game by virtue of their 39-8 victory over the B.C. Lions on Saturday night. Trevor Harris completed 25-of-30 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns, while the Rider defence generated six turnovers in the blowout win.

Saskatchewan’s last home postseason contest was on November 28, 2021, when they defeated the Calgary Stampeders 33-30 in overtime. That also marked the franchise’s last playoff win, as they have failed to qualify in each of the last two seasons.
