2026 Canadian Football League season developments

Overview

During the 2026 Canadian Football League season, team standings and power rankings shifted through the mid-September period. In Week 14, the Montreal Alouettes secured a 37-30 victory over the British Columbia Lions, becoming the first team to clinch a playoff berth. The Edmonton Elks also saw success, defeating the Calgary Stampeders 38-28 to reach a 9-3 record. By Week 15, the Edmonton Elks rose to the top of the 3DownNation power rankings after winning the Battle of Alberta, marking their first postseason berth in seven years. During this same period, the Montreal Alouettes lost their top ranking following a 19-point defeat to the BC Lions. Attendance figures varied significantly during Week 15, with Winnipeg recording a sellout crowd while Toronto saw a season-low attendance. As the season progressed into late September, the Edmonton Elks improved to a 10-3 record and led the West Division. The team sought to extend a five-game winning streak during a matchup against the Toronto Argonauts, despite facing roster challenges due to injuries to running back Justin Rankin and ShunDerrick Powell. In other league developments, the Ottawa Redblacks struggled significantly. Following a 40-38 loss to the Calgary Stampeders—decided by a career-long 62-yard field goal from Rene Paredes—Ottawa suffered its 13th consecutive defeat. The Redblacks later fell to an 0-14 record after a 45-31 loss to Calgary, extending their losing streak to 20 consecutive games, which is described as “a modern-day CFL record.” This loss also ties the 1994 Shreveport Pirates for the worst start to a season in CFL history. Despite the losses, Ottawa quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson maintained high passing yardage in both contests. Meanwhile, the Calgary Stampeders improved their position in the West Division playoff race. In mid-October, the Calgary Stampeders extended their playoff hopes with a 32-13 victory over the B.C.
