2026 Montreal Alouettes Schedule: Dates, Times, TV Channels

Montreal Alouettes 2026 Playoff Picture
Montreal was the first team in the league to clinch a playoff berth, sealing it on September 4 with a 37-30 win over BC. First place in the East followed on October 3, confirmed by a 37-10 win over Winnipeg and Toronto’s loss to BC earlier the same day. The Alouettes have reached the playoffs every year since 2019.
- Montreal AlouettesClinched first place and the Division Final bye.
- Toronto ArgonautsClinched a playoff spot.
- Hamilton Tiger-CatsEliminated from playoff contention.
- Ottawa RedblacksEliminated from playoff contention.
Finishing first means the Alouettes skip the East Semi-Final and host the East Final at Molson Stadium on Saturday, November 7 at 3:00 PM ET, on TSN, CTV and RDS. Their opponent comes out of the semi-final, and with Hamilton and Ottawa both out of contention, the third East playoff place goes to the fourth place team in the West under the crossover rule.
| ROUND | DATE | ALOUETTES |
|---|---|---|
| East Semi-Final | Sat, Oct 31 | Bye |
| East Final | Sat, Nov 7 | Host, Molson Stadium |
| 113th Grey Cup | Sun, Nov 15 | McMahon Stadium, Calgary |
Two wins would put the Alouettes in the Grey Cup at McMahon Stadium, chasing a ninth title and a measure of revenge after losing the 112th Grey Cup to Saskatchewan last November.

Inside the Alouettes 2026 Season
The season turned into a run in late June. After an overtime loss in Edmonton, Montreal won seven straight from Week 4 through Week 12, moving from 2-1 to 9-1 before Winnipeg ended it on August 28.
Quarterback Davis Alexander set a CFL record along the way. In the 38-32 win at Calgary on July 18 he passed Darian Durant for most consecutive pass attempts without an interception, reaching 336 against Durant’s 323, a streak that stretched back to July 2025. He threw for 402 yards that night, his sixth straight 300 yard game to open the season.
Tyson Philpot had the single best afternoon of any Alouette this year on October 3, catching 11 passes for 207 yards and breaking three records in one game. He became the franchise’s single season receptions leader, passing Ben Cahoon and Jamel Richardson, then broke Terry Evanshen’s record for receiving yards by a Canadian in a CFL season, then passed Brad Sinopoli for most single season catches by a Canadian receiver in league history.
That same game doubled as the club’s 80th anniversary celebration, with Mike Pringle, Ben Cahoon, Jamel Richardson, Marc Trestman and Jim Popp honoured at halftime in front of the first sellout crowd of the season. Nine days later Montreal closed the home schedule with a 44-24 win over Saskatchewan on Thanksgiving Monday, finishing 9-0 at Molson Stadium.
How Many Grey Cups Have the Alouettes Won?
The Montreal Alouettes have won the Grey Cup eight times. Their championship years are:
- 1949
- 1970
- 1974
- 1977
- 2002
- 2009
- 2010
- 2023
The most recent came in the 110th Grey Cup on November 19, 2023, a 28-24 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Tim Hortons Field, decided by a Tyson Philpot touchdown catch in the closing seconds.
Montreal reached the final again in 2025 and lost the 112th Grey Cup 25-17 to the Saskatchewan Roughriders, so the 2026 run is a chase for a ninth title rather than a title defence.
How to Get Alouettes Tickets?
Tickets are sold on the official team site, which lists single game seats, season packages and group deals.
The regular season home schedule is done, so the next game at Molson Stadium is the East Final on Saturday, November 7. Demand will be higher than for a regular season date, and the October 3 game was already the first sellout of the year, so booking early rather than on game day is the safer plan.
Ticketmaster and trusted resale sites cover sold out games. The Molson Stadium box office also sells on game day, and discounts are often available for students, families and large groups.
