CBS Sports Network CFL TV Schedule 2026
CFL 2026: USA Broadcast Schedule Confirmed
The CBS Sports Network CFL schedule covers 34 regular season games in 2026, the fourth straight year at that number. One of them is left. Saskatchewan at Montreal on Canadian Thanksgiving, Monday October 12, closes out the American television season.
This is also the last year of the deal. The agreement that put the CFL on CBS Sports Network runs out at the end of the 2026 season, and nothing has been announced to replace it.
Every game and kickoff time below is Eastern, with final scores where the game has been played. Scores read away team first, matching the matchup column.
The Last CBS Sports Network CFL Game of 2026
The Thanksgiving Classic is the final CBSSN broadcast of the season, and it carries real weight. Montreal has already clinched the East Division, while Saskatchewan is fighting for playoff position in the West.
| WEEK | DATE | TIME (ET) | MATCHUP | CHANNEL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 19 | Mon, Oct 12 | 1:00 PM | Saskatchewan at Montreal | CBS Sports Network |
After that, American viewers move to CFL+ for the rest of the regular season, unless CBS Sports Network picks up a playoff game. More on that below.

How to Watch CFL on CBS Sports Network in the USA
CBS Sports Network is the CFL’s American television home. It comes with most cable and satellite packages, and with the live TV streaming services below.
- YouTube TV
- Fubo
- Hulu + Live TV
- DirecTV Stream
- Paramount+
Most of these offer a free trial, which is worth knowing with only one CBSSN game left this season. A single month covers the Thanksgiving Classic and, if the network exercises its option, a playoff game too.
CFL Playoffs and Grey Cup on US Television
This is the part that confuses people every November. The CBS Sports Network deal covers regular season games only. The playoffs and the Grey Cup are not automatically included.
What the network does have is an option to pick up extra games, and it has used that option on the Grey Cup in each of the last two seasons. So there is a good chance the 113th Grey Cup appears on CBSSN, but it is not confirmed until the network says so.
| ROUND | DATE | US COVERAGE |
|---|---|---|
| Division Semi-Finals | Sat, Oct 31 | CFL+ |
| Division Finals | Sat, Nov 7 | CFL+ |
| 113th Grey Cup | Sun, Nov 15 | CFL+, CBSSN option |
The 113th Grey Cup is at McMahon Stadium in Calgary. Either way American fans can watch it, because CFL+ carries the whole postseason for free.
CFL+ Streams Every Other Game Free
CFL+ streams every game that CBS Sports Network does not carry. That is the other 47 regular season games plus the full postseason and the Grey Cup.
It is free, it needs no account, and it works anywhere outside Canada. Replays stay available on demand for up to 48 hours after each game. For an American fan, the practical setup is CFL+ as the default and a CBSSN subscription for the 34 games it takes.
What Happens to CFL Coverage After 2026?
The current arrangement started in April 2023, with a reported value of about one million dollars, and it expires when the 2026 season ends. That makes this schedule the last one under the deal.
No successor has been announced, so what happens to CFL games on American television in 2027 is still open. CFL+ is the one thing that does not change, since the league owns it outright and streams through it in every market outside Canada.
Watching From Canada Instead
None of the above applies inside Canada, where CFL+ is geoblocked. Every game airs on TSN in English, with ten Saturday afternoon games simulcast on CTV and French coverage on RDS and RDS2. The TSN CFL schedule page has the full Canadian listing.
CBS Sports Network CFL Schedule FAQ
How many CFL games are on CBS Sports Network in 2026?
Thirty-four regular season games, which is the fourth straight season at that number. Twenty-five of them fall on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, with three more on holiday Mondays.
What is the last CFL game on CBS Sports Network in 2026?
Saskatchewan at Montreal on Monday October 12 at 1:00 PM ET, the Thanksgiving Classic. It is the final CBSSN broadcast of the season and of the current television deal.
Will the CFL playoffs and Grey Cup be on CBS Sports Network?
Not automatically. The deal covers regular season games, but the network holds an option on additional games and has taken the Grey Cup in each of the last two seasons. Nothing is confirmed for 2026 yet, so watch for an announcement closer to November 15.
How can I watch the CFL games that are not on CBS Sports Network?
On CFL+, the league’s own streaming service. It carries the other 47 regular season games plus the full postseason and the Grey Cup, free, with no account needed, anywhere outside Canada.
How do I get CBS Sports Network without cable?
It is carried by YouTube TV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV Stream and Paramount+. Most offer a free trial, which goes a long way when only one CFL game is left on the schedule.
Were the Labour Day Classics on CBS Sports Network?
Yes, all three. Winnipeg at Saskatchewan on Sunday September 6, then Toronto at Hamilton and Edmonton at Calgary on Monday September 7.
Is the CFL deal with CBS Sports Network ending?
Yes. The agreement began in April 2023, was reported to be worth around one million dollars, and expires at the end of the 2026 season. No replacement has been announced for 2027.
What time zone are the kickoff times on this page?
Eastern Time, matching how CBS Sports Network lists them. Subtract one hour for Central, two for Mountain and three for Pacific.
CBS Sports Network CFL Schedule 2026 in Short
Thirty-four games, one left. Saskatchewan at Montreal on Monday October 12 at 1:00 PM ET is the last CFL game CBS Sports Network carries this season, and the last of the deal.
For everything else, CFL+ is free and covers the remaining regular season games, both playoff rounds and the Grey Cup on November 15. If CBSSN takes up its Grey Cup option, as it has the last two years, American fans get a choice that night.
