TSN CFL Schedule 2026: Which CFL Games are Airing on TSN
TSN carries every game of the 2026 CFL season, and the TSN CFL schedule is now into its final three weeks. The regular season ends on Saturday, October 24, and TSN stays with the league through the playoffs to the 113th Grey Cup on November 15.
This page lists all 81 regular season games with kickoff times in Eastern Time, the channel each one airs on, and the final score where the game has been played. Matchups read away team first, and so do the scores.
Below the tables you will find the playoff broadcast dates and every way to watch, whether you get TSN through a provider, stream it with TSN Direct, or follow the league on CFL+ from outside Canada.

TSN CFL Playoff and Grey Cup Schedule
TSN carries all three playoff rounds, with RDS handling the French broadcast. Kickoff times are confirmed once the matchups are set, because the division winners decide who hosts.
| ROUND | DATE | NETWORK |
|---|---|---|
| Division Semi-Finals | Sat, Oct 31 | TSN / RDS |
| Division Finals | Sat, Nov 7 | TSN / RDS |
| 113th Grey Cup | Sun, Nov 15 | TSN / CTV / RDS |
The 113th Grey Cup is at McMahon Stadium in Calgary. It is the one game of the year that airs on both TSN and CTV, so it reaches every television household in Canada whether or not they subscribe to a sports package. TSN+ and Crave carry it online, RDS has the French call, and CFL+ streams it everywhere else.

What Channels Carry CFL Games in Canada?
TSN is the league’s national broadcaster and every game runs across its channels. There are a few things worth knowing about how that works in practice.
- TSN splits into five regional feeds, TSN1 through TSN5. On a busy Saturday the game you want may be on a different feed than usual, so check your guide rather than assuming.
- CTV simulcasts ten regular season games in 2026, all Saturday afternoon kickoffs. CTV is free over the air, so these are the games to look for if you do not have a sports package.
- RDS and RDS2 carry the French broadcasts. RDS focuses on Alouettes and Redblacks games plus the playoffs and the Grey Cup, with RDS2 picking up the overflow.
- CBS Sports Network takes a selection of games for the United States. The CBS Sports Network CFL schedule page lists which ones.
How to Stream TSN CFL Games Live
TSN Direct
TSN Direct is the route for anyone without cable. It needs no television provider and sells day, monthly and yearly passes, so a single pass covers a Grey Cup Sunday if that is all you want. It works on phones, tablets, laptops and smart TVs.
TSN App
If TSN already comes with your television package, the TSN app streams every game at no extra cost. Sign in with your provider details, pick the game and watch. Highlights and full replays are there afterwards.
CFL+ for Viewers Outside Canada
CFL+ streams every game live and free to anyone outside Canada, with no login and no payment. That covers Canadians travelling abroad and international fans alike. Inside Canada the games are geoblocked on CFL+, so TSN remains the way to watch.
