The 113th Grey Cup will be streamed for free on DAZN for audiences in the United States and internationally.

The CFL made the announcement via social media on Wednesday, marking the first broadcast for the league on the online streaming service.

The league struck a new broadcasting agreement earlier this year. While TSN retained the primary broadcast rights to the league, DAZN will be the exclusive broadcaster of Saturday Night Football beginning in 2027 and stream games internationally. The agreement runs through 2032.

The company has already unveiled Chris Streveler, Simoni Lawrence, and Shawn Lemon as part of their broadcast team, with other members slated to be announced on Thursday. However, the stream of this year’s Grey Cup will be a simulcast of the existing broadcast.

International viewers have been able to watch the games for free this season on CFL+, while 34 regular-season contests were broadcast in the United States on CBS Sports Network. The league’s former American rights holder exercised an option in their contract to pick up the Grey Cup game in 2024 and 2025.

The Montreal Alouettes (15-4) and Edmonton Elks (14-5) will meet in the 113th Grey Cup at McMahon Stadium in Calgary on Sunday, November 15, with kickoff scheduled for 6:00 p.m. ET.

The Alouettes and Elks split their two meetings during the regular season. In June, Edmonton won 32-29 in overtime at Commonwealth Stadium, as running back Justin Rankin recorded 230 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. In August, Montreal won 48-30 at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium, led by a 131-yard, three-touchdown performance from Tyson Philpot.

The weather forecast in Calgary calls for a high of 10 degrees with a mix of sun and cloud. Fans in Canada will still be able to view the game on TSN, CTV, RDS, or Crave.
