The Montreal Alouettes have become the first team to secure a playoff spot in the 2026 CFL season following a 37-30 victory over the BC Lions. The win, achieved at Percival Molson Stadium, guarantees Montreal a home game in the post-season.
During the match, Alouettes quarterback Davis Alexander threw 25 touchdown passes, setting a new CFL record. Receiver Tyler Snead contributed two touchdowns to the win. For the BC Lions, quarterback Nathan Rourke recorded 375 yards and two touchdowns, but the team suffered three turnovers that contributed to the loss and ended their five-game winning streak.
