The CFL has released its 2026 schedule, with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers kicking off the season June 5 on the road against the Calgary Stampeders.
Winnipeg’s home opener follows on Thursday, June 11, when the Bombers host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Princess Auto Stadium — the first of three Thursday night home games next season.
Winnipeg’s 2026 home schedule includes five Friday night matchups: July 10 (vs. Toronto*), July 24 (vs. Calgary), August 14 (vs. Ottawa), August 28 (vs. Montreal), and September 25 (vs. Toronto). The club will also host Thursday games on June 25 (vs. Edmonton) and July 30 (vs. BC), along with two Saturday home dates.
Rivalry week returns with the Labour Day Classic set for September 6 in Regina and the Banjo Bowl back in Winnipeg on September 12. The team’s annual Orange Shirt Game, honouring the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, is scheduled for September 25.
