The 111th CFL Grey Cup will be televised on CBS Sports Network in the United States, the league announced Thursday.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to have the biggest game of the season on CBS Sports Network,” said CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie. “Since the day we announced this partnership, our American fans have wanted nothing more than to see the Grey Cup on TV. And now, with this momentous announcement, the countdown begins to the sights, surprises and spectacle that we have in store for Vancouver.”
The game will be played on Sunday, Nov. 17, at 6:00 Eastern at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, BC.
CBSSN will air two CFL contests next week. The Ottawa Redblacks at Montreal Alouettes will air at 1:00 (Eastern) on Monday, Oct. 14, while the Calgary Stampeders at Hamilton Tiger-Cats game will air Friday, Oct. 18, at 7:00 (Eastern).
Fantastic for CBSSN
I second you, Dan.
Having walked by BC Place last night en route to Rogers Arena for the Canucks’ curtain-raiser, I’m happy to report that the excitement for the Grey Cup was palpable. More yards, more ways to score — what’s not to like about Canadian football! The rouge had me at hello ….
The Grey Cup is clearly an undervalued property. Go CBSSN!
Montreal Alouettes is Dan’s favorite CFL team.
Oh man—-will the game still be available on CFL Plus? I don’t have CBSSN, but I must watch the Grey Cup—–
Ugh.
I am hoping FBSchedules can effort this answer.
My guess is that , because CBSSN is carrying it, US subscribers won’t be able to access CFL Plus for the game.
Only on CFL+ outside the US, unfortunately.
