REGINA – The Grey Cup game is returning to Mosaic Stadium.
The CFL announced Monday it has awarded the 2027 Grey Cup to Regina.
The game was last held at Mosaic Stadium in 2022 when the Toronto Argonauts edged the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 24-23 before more than 33,000 spectators.
This year’s game will be held Nov. 16 at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg, while the 2026 contest is slated for Calgary’s McMahon Stadium.
“Rider Nation is legendary,” CFL commissioner Stewart Johnston said in a statement. “Saskatchewan’s winning bid was an unmistakable reflection of this incredible fan base, filled with passion, celebration, a strong sense of community and of course, a deep love of Canadian football.”
