The Canadian Football League has unveiled its American broadcast schedule for the 2026 season.
For the fourth straight year, 34 regular-season CFL contests will be carried live on CBS Sports Network, including the entire opening week slate. Also featured are marquee matchups like the three Labour Day Classic rivalry games and the Thanksgiving Classic.
The remaining 47 regular-season games, plus playoffs and the 112th Grey Cup, will be available to American fans via the league’s free streaming service, CFL+. The platform, which will also carry every game for international viewers, features on-demand viewing for up to 48 hours after each broadcast and is compatible with Apple AirPlay.
The final American television broadcast of the year will take place in Week 19, when Saskatchewan and Montreal meet on October 12 for Canadian Thanksgiving. CBS Sports Network does have the option to pick up additional games, having chosen to carry the Grey Cup in each of the last two seasons.
CBS Sports Network is available on all major cable, satellite, and telco distributors as well as online through YouTube TV, fuboTV, DirecTV, and Hulu in the U.S. The CFL struck a deal with the network in April of 2023 worth a reported $1 million after previously partnering with ESPN. That deal expires at the end of the 2026 season, coinciding with the expiry of the league’s Canadian broadcast deal with TSN.
The full American television broadcast schedule can be found below.
