Canada West has unveiled its football schedule for 2025.

The action kicks off on Thursday, August 28 when the Manitoba Bisons visit the UBC Thunderbirds. The conference’s other four teams will see the field on Friday, August 29 when the Regina Rams visit the Calgary Dinos and the Saskatchewan Huskies visit the Alberta Golden Bears.

All six teams will play one another at least once with a conference bye scheduled for the second week of October. The Hardy Cup semifinals will take place on Saturday, November 1, while the Hardy Cup will be played on Saturday, November 8.

Last year, the Regina Rams overcame a fourth-place finish in the regular season to win the Hardy Cup after upsetting Manitoba and Saskatchewan in the playoffs. It was Regina’s first Hardy Cup appearance since 2012 and first Hardy Cup win since 2000.
