Also featured are marquee matchups like the three Labour Day Classic rivalry games and the Thanksgiving Classic.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining 47 regular-season games, plus playoffs and the 112th Grey Cup, will be available to American fans via the league\u2019s free streaming service, CFL+. The platform, which will also carry every game for international viewers, features on-demand viewing for up to 48 hours after each broadcast and is compatible with Apple AirPlay.<\/p>\n<p>The final American television broadcast of the year will take place in Week 19, when Saskatchewan and Montreal meet on October 12 for Canadian Thanksgiving.
