On Thursday, the Canadian Football League Board of Governors announced that the city of Hamilton, Ontario, will host the 2021 and 2023 Grey Cup at Tim Hortons Field.
Saskatchewan’s Mosaic Stadium will host the 2022 Grey Cup. Saskatchewan was supposed to host the 2020 Grey Cup but was canceled due to COVID-19.
CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie on Hamilton hosting the Grey Cup said. “We have worked very closely with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and their fellow teams across the country, on this plan.”
Ambrosie added, “It’s exciting, responsible, and fair. It delivers an exciting and complete championship game day experience for this year’s Grey Cup game, it responsibly modifies our plan for Grey Cup Week this year due to circumstances beyond our control, and it’s only fair to award another Grey Cup to Hamilton in 2023. So, Hamilton gets an opportunity down the road to fully realize its bold and ambitious plans for hosting Grey Cup.”
Tonight, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers can be the first team to clinch a playoff spot with a win over the Edmonton Elks.
The 2021 regular season concludes on November 20th. The CFL playoffs will begin on Sunday, November 28th. The 109th Grey Cup Championship game is on Sunday, December 12th, at 6 pm.
