106th Grey Cup

The 106th Grey Cup (known as the 106th Grey Cup presented by Shaw for sponsorship reasons) will be played to decide the Canadian Football League (CFL) championship for the 2018 season. The game will be televised in Canada nationally on TSN.

The game is scheduled to be played at The Brick Field at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Alberta on Sunday, November 25, 2018.

On March 24, 2017, it was reported by several news outlets that the Calgary Stampeders and Edmonton Eskimos were bidding to host the 2018 Grey Cup game. In previous years, the games would be awarded based on regional preference or ownership changes (such as Toronto hosting the 104th Grey Cup four years after hosting their previous one). However, beginning with the 2018 game, the league will have a bidding process based on the merits of the application to determine a host. Calgary last hosted the Grey Cup in 2009 while Edmonton last hosted in 2010. Both cities have previously hosted the Grey Cup game four times.

Despite having a new stadium, and not having hosted the Grey Cup game since 1996, it was reported that the Hamilton Tiger-Cats would not submit a bid for the 106th Grey Cup due to ongoing lawsuits filed against the construction firms that completed the stadium more than a year behind schedule. Tiger-Cats CEO, Scott Mitchell, relayed that the organization was focused on the lawsuits first and foremost, and once those are completed they will focus on hosting a Grey Cup in the near future.
