The 113th Grey Cup is scheduled for 2026-11-15 at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, two days after this check, according to our reference notes. The same notes put the 2026 season at 4 June to 24 October, with playoff games on 31 October and 7 November. Dates come from a secondary source and still need confirming on cfl.ca.

**Bottom line:** the Grey Cup date is a lead until cfl.ca is read.

## A game in Alberta, a bet in your province

The Grey Cup is in Calgary, but a bet follows the province where you are. In Alberta, registered operators have been open since 2026-07-13, and the minimum age is 18+. See the [Alberta page](https://reviewstandings.com/sports-betting-alberta/) and the [Alberta market note](https://reviewstandings.com/alberta-regulated-market-opens-2026-07-13/).

In Ontario and British Columbia the age is 19+.

## Rules to read first

We have not collected the CFL's overtime rules or any operator's settlement wording. Read the operator's rule page for overtime, postponements and a game moved to another day.

For the American league, see the [NFL page](https://reviewstandings.com/nfl-2026-season-and-super-bowl/).

## What to check before betting

- The date and kickoff time on cfl.ca.
- That the operator is registered in your province on the day.
- The operator's rule for overtime and a delayed game.
- Your limits, set before the weekend.

## How we checked

1. We took the season, playoff and Grey Cup dates from our reference notes of 2026-11-06.
2. We flagged each as unconfirmed, since the notes cite a secondary source.
3. We left operator rules out until their pages are read.

## FAQ

**When is the 113th Grey Cup?**

Our reference notes give 2026-11-15 at McMahon Stadium in Calgary. The source is secondary, so we confirm the date on cfl.ca before relying on it.

**When did the 2026 CFL season run?**

Our notes show a season from 4 June to 24 October, with playoff games on 31 October and 7 November. All are still to be confirmed on cfl.ca.

**Does the Grey Cup being in Calgary change my betting rules?**

No. The rules that apply are those of the province where you are, not where the game is played. In Alberta the minimum age is 18+.

**How does the CFL settle overtime bets?**

We have not collected the CFL overtime rule or any operator's wording. We will publish them only with a page address and a reading date.

**What about the 2027 season?**

No 2027 dates are published here. We take them from cfl.ca when the league releases them.
