Edmonton Elks 2026 Playoff Picture

- BC LionsClinched a playoff spot.
- Saskatchewan RoughridersClinched a playoff spot.
- Winnipeg Blue BombersClinched a playoff spot.
- Calgary StampedersEliminated from playoff contention.

Inside the Edmonton Elks 2026 Season
Mark Kilam took over as head coach and turned a long rebuild around in one year. Edmonton opened with three straight wins and never dropped out of the West Division race after that.
August was the rough patch. Edmonton lost three of four, including a 48-30 defeat in Montreal. The season turned on the Labour Day weekend double against Calgary.
Edmonton erased an 18 point deficit to win 38-28 at McMahon Stadium, then buried the Stampeders 53-16 in the home rematch five days later. That second win clinched the playoff spot and made it four straight.
Three of Edmonton’s wins came by exactly two points and another needed overtime, so the margins have been thin all year. Commonwealth Stadium is where most of the work got done, and that home edge now carries into the West Final on November 7.
