Winnipeg Blue Bombers Form
Winnipeg go into their season opener looking to better a 2025 season that saw them fall at the first hurdle in the playoffs.
The Blue Bombers went into that campaign having been a fixture of the Grey Cup in previous years, and they raced out of the blocks with a three-game win streak.
They cooled off over the next couple of months though and found themselves with a losing record in the second half of September.
Winnipeg then rallied over the final few weeks of the regular season, winning four of their final five games to snatch a place in the postseason.
The Blue Bombers were ‘one-and-done’ in the playoffs however, as they fell 42-33 to Montreal in the Eastern semi-final.
Calgary Stampeders Form
Calgary also enter the new season with their sights set on bettering a 2025 campaign that saw them go ‘one-and-done’ in the playoffs.
The Stampeders began that campaign with five wins in their first six games, and climbed to 8-3 at the start of September.
They wobbled after that and suffered four consecutive defeats to find themselves in danger of collapsing out of the playoff picture.
Calgary steadied the ship though, winning their final three games of the regular season to finish 11-7 and advance to the postseason.
The Stampeders’ streak was ended in the Western semi-final however, as they were beaten 33-30 by the BC Lions.
