Edmonton is going back to the Grey Cup.

The Edmonton Elks beat the BC Lions 28–16 in the CFL West Final on Saturday night at Commonwealth Stadium, punching their ticket to the 113th Grey Cup — the club's first trip to the championship game in 11 years. The last time Edmonton played for the Cup, in 2015, they brought it home.

Waiting for them: the Montreal Alouettes, who beat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 33–23 in the East Final. The 113th Grey Cup goes Sunday, November 15, 2026 at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, with kickoff at 5 PM MT.

Wins like this are about more than football. A Grey Cup run lights up the whole city — the watch parties, the green and gold everywhere, neighbours who suddenly have a lot to talk about. It's the same energy that makes Edmonton such a great place to put down roots: a city that shows up for its teams and for each other.

However you're watching on Sunday — at a party here in the city or making the trip down to Calgary — enjoy it, Edmonton. One more win.
