The three games from June 11 to June 13 averaged 27,872 fans, up more than 10,000 from Week 1. Winnipeg sold out Princess Auto Stadium at 32,343.<\/p>\n<p>The jump came from the league&#8217;s top home markets.

Princess Auto Stadium holds about 33,000. The figure matches Winnipeg&#8217;s 2025 season average, when the Blue Bombers sold out all nine home games.<\/p>\n<p>Saskatchewan drew 30,168 at Mosaic Stadium. That tops the Roughriders&#8217; 2025 home average of 28,427.<\/p>\n<p>Montreal hosted Toronto and drew 21,106 at Percival Molson Stadium.

Week 2 put two of the league&#8217;s three biggest 2025 draws on home turf. That swing accounts for most of the 10,753-fan increase.<\/p>\n<p>How Week 2 Compares to 2025<\/p>\n<p>The 2025 CFL regular season averaged about 22,950 fans per game. Week 2&#8217;s 27,872 average sits well above that mark, driven by the Winnipeg and Saskatchewan home dates.<\/p>\n<p>Team<\/p>\n<p>2026 Week 2<\/p>\n<p>2025 Average<\/p>\n<p>Winnipeg<\/p>\n<p>32,343<\/p>\n<p>32,343<\/p>\n<p>Saskatchewan<\/p>\n<p>30,168<\/p>\n<p>28,427<\/p>\n<p>Montreal<\/p>\n<p>21,106<\/p>\n<p>21,132<\/p>\n<p>Attendance figures are self-reported by each team and are not independently verified.<\/p>\n<p>Week 3 Outlook<\/p>\n<p>Week 3 continues the 2026 schedule across the league.
