The 1966 Canadian Football League season was the league's ninth season since the 1958 merger of the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union and the Western Interprovincial Football Union to create a national league.
The Canadian Football League made several rule changes. The league started to legalize unlimited blocking on rushing plays and introduced their new goose-necked goal posts. The league rewrote its rule book and reduced it in size.
The Canadian Rugby Union gave their trusteeship of the Grey Cup to the Canadian Football League.
One of the more notable games of the regular season was Montreal's 1-0 victory over Ottawa, the lowest scoring game in CFL history, and only the second 1-0 game since a 1949 win by Winnipeg over Calgary in the WIFU.
