Four teams are left in the CFL season, and by Saturday night the Grey Cup matchup will be set. The division finals run back to back: Winnipeg at Montreal in the afternoon, BC at Edmonton in the evening.

The Eastern Final

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers play the Montreal Alouettes at Percival Molson Stadium, with kickoff at 3 p.m. ET. The game is on TSN1, TSN3, CTV, Crave and RDS.

Winnipeg got here the hard way. The Blue Bombers crossed over from the West and beat the Toronto Argonauts 25-22 in the Eastern Semi-Final at BMO Field, scoring the winning touchdown with 44 seconds left.

Montreal finished first in the East at 14-4 and had the bye. The teams split their season series 1-1, and this is their third postseason meeting in four years — Montreal won the first of them, the 110th Grey Cup in 2023.

Winnipeg is also carrying the crossover's history. Thirteen West teams have crossed into the East bracket before; none has won the Grey Cup. This is the final year of the crossover format.

The Western Final

The BC Lions play the Edmonton Elks at Commonwealth Stadium, with kickoff at 6:30 p.m. ET, on TSN and RDS. BC beat the Saskatchewan Roughriders 33-26 in the Western Semi-Final.

Edmonton finished first in the West and hosts a playoff game for the first time since 2015. It is the Elks' first playoff game of any kind since 2019.

The prize

The winners meet in the 113th Grey Cup on Sunday, November 15, at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, with kickoff at 6 p.m. ET. The Grey Cup Festival runs in Calgary from November 11 to 15.
