BC Lions CFL Schedule 2026, Dates, Matchups, Kick off Times, TV Channel, Locations, How to Watch
(Vancouver)- BC Lions fans can start pencilling in their dates for the 2026 football calendar as the Canadian Football League officially rolled out its schedule this morning.
The BC Lions’ 72nd season begins with training camp in Kamloops in early May, setting the stage for a province-wide campaign that reinforces the Lions as B.C.’s team. In total, the club will play in four different markets across British Columbia during the 2026 season.
The preseason includes another Lions in Langford matchup against the Edmonton Elks on May 23 at Starlight Stadium, followed by a road game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to close out exhibition play. The Lions then have a Week 1 bye before opening the regular season on the road with trips to Saskatchewan on June 13 and Hamilton on June 19.
The Lions return to the Okanagan for Touchdown Kelowna, hosting the Calgary Stampeders on June 27 and the Edmonton Elks on July 4 at Save-On-Foods Field at the Apple Bowl. Both games kick off at 4:00 p.m., with festival details to be announced later.
A long-awaited return to BC Place follows in Week 8, as the Lions host the Toronto Argonauts on July 25. The summer home schedule continues with Hamilton on August 8 and Saskatchewan on August 23, all downtown Vancouver games featuring 4:00 p.m. kickoffs.
The late-season push begins after Labour Day with a home date against the Montreal Alouettes on September 12, followed by a second visit from the Roughriders on September 25. October wraps up with home games against the Ottawa REDBLACKS on October 9 and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on October 23, the latter serving as a potentially pivotal regular-season finale in the West.
Fans can lock in seats for all regular-season home games — including priority access to Touchdown Kelowna — by becoming BC Lions season ticket holders.
