Christmas came early for CFL fans this year as the CFL released the 2024 Schedule on Thursday. With the league is going back to the balanced schedule that sees each team play each other at least twice, Here is a quick breakdown of 5 games to circle on your CFL calendar.
5. Hamilton Tiger-Cats vs Calgary Stampeders – Week 1
This one is very dependent on if Bo Levi Mitchell is still a member of the Ticats come week one but right now he is on the roster so his return to Calgary and McMahon Stadium Week one takes the number 5 spot.
4. Montréal Alouettes vs Toronto Argonauts – Week 4
2023 had its fill of upsets but nothing compares to the humiliation that Montréal put Chad Kelly and the rest of the Argonauts through during the East Final in November.
A regular season win won’t make up for the playoff let down but the atmosphere and intensity will resemble a playoff game.
3. Saskatchewan Roughriders vs Toronto Argonauts – Week 12
Former Toronto Argonauts Defensive Coordinator Corey Mace makes his return the BMO Field as the Head Coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
2. Ottawa REDBLACKS vs BC Lions – Week 13
Touchdown Pacific, Labour Day weekend, what a perfect time for the CFL to take over Victoria.
1. Ottawa REDBLACKS vs Montréal Alouettes – Week 2
Who doesn’t love a party?
The home opener for the defending Grey Cup Champions always take the number spot but this one will be a little more special for the fans and players in Montréal as they will be unveiling their first Grey Cup Banner since the 2011 Home Opener
