CFL Banjo Bowl Winnipeg Blue Bombers Saskatchewan Roughriders Canadian Football League

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Saskatchewan Roughriders are preparing for the 2026 Banjo Bowl this Saturday. Following a loss in the Labour Day Classic, the Blue Bombers face challenges regarding their rushing game and consistency, despite Brady Oliveira's pursuit of historic milestones.

In preparation for the rematch, the Saskatchewan Roughriders have made a change to their kicking unit. Specialist Alex Hale has been demoted to the practice roster after missing two field goals during the recent Labour Day Classic. He is replaced by Dawson Hodge, a Canadian specialist who previously played for Wilfrid Laurier University.
