Edmonton Elks schedule 2026
The CFL regular season is 18 games over roughly 21 weeks: nine home dates at Commonwealth Stadium and nine on the road. The Elks play three games each against their four West Division rivals — BC, Saskatchewan, Winnipeg, Calgary — 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 Labour Day Classic weekend featuring back-to-back Elks-Stamps games (Edmonton hosting the Sunday game, Calgary hosting the Monday game) every September. Pre-season opens in late May with two exhibition matchups. 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. Use the schedule strip above to filter by month, opponent, or home/away; each row links through to the matchup page with tickets, projected starters, and broadcast info.

About the Edmonton Elks
The Edmonton Elks are northern Alberta's CFL standard-bearer, playing their home games at Commonwealth Stadium in the city's central neighbourhoods since the venue opened in 1978. Founded in 1949 as the Edmonton Eskimos and rebranded as the Elks in 2021, the franchise carries 14 Grey Cup championships — the second-most in CFL history — with titles spanning 1954, 1955, 1956, 1975, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1987, 1993, 2003, 2005, and 2015. The current bench boss leads a roster rebuilding around a Canadian-trained quarterback room, a stable of homegrown receivers, and a defensive front that has produced multiple Most Outstanding Canadian nominees in recent seasons. A Commonwealth Stadium home Friday night under the open Alberta sky pulls 30,000-plus fans into one of the largest CFL venues in the league, with the Eskimos-era five-Grey-Cup dynasty banners (1978-1982) still hanging above the south end zone as a reminder of the franchise's pedigree. This page is the Edmonton landing spot for fans figuring out whether the Elks play tonight, what time kickoff is, who they're hosting, and how to get to Commonwealth Stadium — kept current throughout the CFL season.

Edmonton Elks 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 and flex-pack options available year-round. Commonwealth Stadium's large capacity means single-game inventory rarely sells out for non-rival games, and secondary-market prices routinely drop 30–50% in the week before kickoff. Labour Day Classic and any Saskatchewan home date stay expensive right up to kickoff.
A Edmonton Elks game, from gate to final whistle
Commonwealth Stadium is where Edmonton Elks fans gather for canadian football, the 56,302-seat stadium. You'll find it in McCauley / Boyle Street (northeast of downtown). Doors usually open well before the first whistle, so arriving 45 minutes early leaves time for security and concessions. Most canadian football games run about 2–3 hours.
vs Calgary Stampeders
Edmonton Elks vs Calgary Stampeders — the Labour Day Classic and the Battle of Alberta — is one of the oldest continuous rivalries in Canadian sport. The two clubs play the Labour Day Sunday game at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton and the Labour Day Monday holiday matinee at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, with fan migration along the QE2 between cities filling hotels in both downtowns. The series runs back to the late 1940s and has produced more Western Final pairings than any other Alberta matchup. The Eskimos-era teams of the late 1970s and early 1980s built much of their dynasty at the Stamps' expense. Watch this one for physical defensive play, short fields, and a packed Commonwealth crowd that bumps capacity well past the regular-season average. The Labour Day Sunday game is the marquee home date on every Edmonton season-seat holder's calendar.
vs Saskatchewan Roughriders
Edmonton Elks vs Saskatchewan Roughriders is a West Division series with deep history going back to the Eskimos dynasty eras of the 1970s and 80s, when Edmonton regularly went through Saskatchewan on the way to Grey Cup wins. Rider Nation's travelling section turns Commonwealth Stadium into one of the louder visiting-fan environments in the league, with green-and-white sections in the upper deck big enough to push the home crowd's volume in response. The 1980s Eskimos-Riders Western Finals are franchise lore on both sides. Watch this one for downfield passing and an aggressive defensive front from both teams; Saskatchewan's blitz packages against Edmonton's protection have decided multiple recent matchups. Commonwealth's open-air late-season conditions add a weather wrinkle the Riders are used to and the Elks count on.
vs BC Lions
Edmonton Elks vs BC Lions is a West Division series with long shared history — the Lions and the Eskimos (now Elks) have been West Division rivals since the CFL's modern era took shape, and the open-air Commonwealth Stadium provides a stark contrast to the dome-controlled BC Place environment. The 1980s-90s Lions and Eskimos teams traded West Division titles regularly, and the current era has been more balanced with both clubs cycling through rebuild stretches. Watch this one for the Lions' pass attack against Edmonton's secondary and for special-teams play that has decided multiple recent results. The Lions' trip to Commonwealth in October can mean kickoff temperatures around 5°C, a significant adjustment from the climate-controlled BC Place.
vs Winnipeg Blue Bombers
Edmonton Elks vs Winnipeg Blue Bombers is a West Division series that has decided playoff seeding in several recent seasons. The Bombers' current run as one of the West's top clubs has often included measuring-stick games at Commonwealth Stadium, and the Elks' rebuild years have been punctuated by upset wins against Winnipeg that have shaped late-season standings. The 1990 Grey Cup — Bombers over Eskimos in BC Place — and the 1993 Grey Cup — Eskimos over Bombers in Hamilton — represent the two clubs' shared championship history. Watch this one for trench play and run-game battles; both clubs traditionally build around physical fronts and clock-controlling offences. The trip to Princess Auto Stadium for late-season Bombers games is one of the colder road weekends on the Edmonton schedule.
