Winnipeg Blue Bombers schedule 2026
The CFL regular season is 18 games over roughly 21 weeks: nine home dates at Princess Auto Stadium and nine on the road. The Bombers play three games each against their four West Division rivals — BC, Saskatchewan, Calgary, Edmonton — totalling 12 divisional contests, with the remaining six against East Division opponents in a rotating crossover format. Each club gets two bye weeks scattered through the summer schedule, with the Banjo Bowl weekend featuring back-to-back Saturdays of Bombers-Riders football (one in Regina, one in Winnipeg) tucked into early September. Pre-season opens in late May with two exhibition games. The Western Semi-Final runs the first weekend of November between the second and third West seeds, with the winner moving on to the Western Final at the top seed's stadium. The Grey Cup, the CFL's championship game, rotates between host cities and is played in late November.

About the Winnipeg Blue Bombers
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are the Manitoba flagship of the CFL, playing their home games at Princess Auto Stadium on the University of Manitoba campus in Fort Garry since the venue opened in 2013. Founded in 1930 as a merger of the Winnipeg Football Club and the St. John's Athletic Club, the Bombers carry 12 Grey Cup championships — the third-most in CFL history — with titles spanning 1935, 1939, 1941, 1958, 1959, 1961, 1962, 1984, 1988, 1990, 2019, and 2021. The current bench boss leads a roster known league-wide for its physical offensive line, bell-cow tailback rotation, and a defensive front that has anchored back-to-back-to-back Grey Cup appearances in the modern era. A Bombers Friday night in Winnipeg is a civic event: 33,000 fans in blue and gold, the Spirit of Manitoba train siren on every touchdown, and a tailgate culture along the stadium's outer ring that starts hours before kickoff. The Banjo Bowl weekend against Saskatchewan is the loudest non-Grey-Cup game played anywhere in the league. This page is the Winnipeg landing spot for fans figuring out whether the Bombers play tonight, what time kickoff is, who they're hosting, and how to get to Princess Auto Stadium — kept current throughout the CFL season.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers tickets are available primarily through TicketNetwork and the official team site, with secondary inventory on StubHub, SeatGeek, and Vivid Seats linked from each game card on this page. Single-game tickets typically go on sale in late April once the full CFL schedule is locked in, with season-seat memberships available year-round at sharp per-game pricing. The Bombers' season-seat renewal rate is one of the highest in the league, which means single-game inventory in prime lower-bowl sections can tighten fast for marquee dates. Banjo Bowl tickets, any Saskatchewan home game, and the Western Semi-Final stay expensive right up to kickoff.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers gameday experience
Expect a full house of canadian football energy when the Winnipeg Blue Bombers host at Princess Auto Stadium. Plan to arrive at least 45 minutes ahead to clear the gates and find your seat; a typical canadian football game lasts roughly 2–3 hours.
vs Saskatchewan Roughriders
Winnipeg Blue Bombers vs Saskatchewan Roughriders — the Banjo Bowl — is the biggest annual game in Canadian football outside the Grey Cup itself. The rivalry runs back to the 1930s and pulls every road-trip Rider fan within reach of the Trans-Canada into Princess Auto Stadium on Banjo Bowl Saturday in early September, with the previous weekend's Labour Day Classic in Regina serving as the home-and-home companion. The series has decided multiple Western Finals over the past two decades, and the Bombers' 2019 and 2021 Grey Cup runs both featured key September swing games against the Riders. Expect a packed parking lot tailgate starting at 7 a.m., visiting green-and-white sections big enough to be heard on TV, and a stadium PA running anti-Rider barbs all afternoon. The series is also the closest thing the CFL has to a true blood feud.
vs BC Lions
Winnipeg Blue Bombers vs BC Lions carries the weight of the 2011 Grey Cup, which BC won on home turf, and the more recent stretch of Bombers dominance in the West Division. The matchup is typically a measuring-stick game: when both teams are in form, Bombers-Lions decides home-field for the Western Semi-Final or even the Western Final. Winnipeg's physical offensive line against BC's pass rush is the marquee unit battle, and the Lions' dome at BC Place flips the weather equation for late-season trips west. Watch this one for trench play and field-position football — both clubs are built around running the ball, controlling the clock, and forcing turnovers. The Bombers have generally held the series in the 2019-onward era.
vs Calgary Stampeders
Winnipeg Blue Bombers vs Calgary Stampeders is a West Division series that has decided more than its share of playoff seeding over the past decade. The Stamps' McMahon Stadium and the Bombers' Princess Auto Stadium are two of the harder home environments in the CFL — both clubs feed off raucous local crowds, and both have built rosters around physical defensive fronts. The 2019 Grey Cup run for Winnipeg ran through Calgary in the Western Final at McMahon Stadium, a result that broke a long Stamps stretch as the class of the West. Bombers-Stamps tilts in September and October are typically the games that lock down the West Division top seed, and a Friday-night Calgary visit to Princess Auto Stadium is one of the best non-Banjo-Bowl tickets on Winnipeg's home schedule.
vs Hamilton Tiger-Cats
Winnipeg Blue Bombers vs Hamilton Tiger-Cats is the Grey Cup matchup the modern league has seen most often, with Bombers wins in the 2019 and 2021 finals making the rivalry feel newer than its actual roots suggest. The 2021 game at Tim Hortons Field — Hamilton hosting and losing — is the closest Hamilton has come to ending its own long Grey Cup drought, and Bombers-Ticats regular-season tilts now carry an instant-classic edge thanks to that recent postseason history. Watch this one for the Bombers' run game against Hamilton's stack-the-box front, and the Ticats' downfield passing attack testing Winnipeg's deep secondary. The Tim Hortons Field road trip is one of the more enjoyable for visiting fans — open-air stadium, walkable Hamilton bar scene, and a hostile but fair crowd.
