Official: Saskatchewan awarded 114th Grey Cup in 2027

It’s official: the 114th Grey Cup will be hosted in Saskatchewan on November 7, 2027.

“Rider Nation is legendary and Saskatchewan’s winning bid was an unmistakable reflection of this incredible fanbase, filled with passion, celebration, a strong sense of community, and, of course, a deep love of Canadian football,” said CFL commissioner Stewart Johnston in a statement.

“We look forward to seeing the entire province come together and open its arms to fans from coast to coast to coast, while showcasing the green and white pride of the prairies!”

Regina most recently hosted the Grey Cup in 2022 when the Toronto Argonauts defeated the Winnipeg Blue Bombers by a score of 24-23 at Mosaic Stadium.

Saskatchewan has hosted the Grey Cup on three previous occasions: 1995, 2003, and 2013. The Baltimore Stallions defeated the Calgary Stampeders in 1995, the Edmonton Football Team defeated the Montreal Alouettes in 2003, and the Saskatchewan Roughriders trounced the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2013.

“Grey Cups in Saskatchewan are incredibly special. More than a game, they are week-long gatherings that bring the entire CFL community together. Mosaic Stadium was built to host events of this magnitude, and welcoming the league here again in 2027 is a tremendous honour,” said president and CEO Craig Reynolds.

“Rider Nation’s energy and hospitality are second to none, and we can’t wait to celebrate with them once more. Our deepest thanks go to the province of Saskatchewan, the city of Regina and our many partners whose support made this possible.”

This year’s Grey Cup is set for Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg, while next year’s Grey Cup will take place at McMahon Stadium in Calgary.
