WINNIPEG GETS 2025 GREY CUP

TORONTO – The Grey Cup game is returning to Winnipeg.

According to a source, the league will award the 2025 Grey Cup to the Manitoba capital later this month. The source spoke on the condition of anonymity as the CFL hasn’t formally unveiled the host city for the contest.

The move would come after the CFL awarded the ’24 Grey Cup game to Vancouver. Both the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and B.C. Lions had bid to host the contest.

As a result, the prevailing sentiment was Winnipeg would be up next to host the Grey Cup. It’s unclear if any other cities bid for the ’25 game.

The ’23 Grey Cup will be held Nov. 19 at Tim Hortons Field, the 12th time the contest will be played in Hamilton.

The 2021 Grey Cup was also played at Tim Hortons Field, with Winnipeg dispatching the hometown Tiger-Cats 33-25 in overtime. Regina was originally scheduled to stage the ’20 game but the league didn’t operate that season due to the global pandemic.
