Overview
- The 112th Grey Cup kicks off Sunday at Winnipeg’s Princess Auto Stadium with the Saskatchewan Roughriders facing the Montreal Alouettes.
- Thousands of travelling supporters—many in elaborate costumes and long‑worn jerseys—have converged on the city for fan festivals and game day traditions.
- The CFL says French will be prominently featured at the championship, including a bilingual national anthem and in‑stadium announcements and scoreboard messaging.
- Commissioner Stewart Johnston says most stakeholders back planned rule changes, but Riders veterans Jorgen Hus and Brett Lauther say players were not meaningfully consulted.
- Players flagged proposals such as moving goal posts to the back of the end zone, shortening the field to 100 yards and reducing end‑zone depth, warning of fewer missed‑kick returns and tougher long field goals.
