The Grey Cup is the championship game of the Canadian Football League (CFL) and the trophy awarded to the winning team. First presented in 1909, it is contested annually between the winners of the CFL's East and West divisions. The game is one of Canada's most-watched television sporting events and has been traditionally held on a Sunday in November.
This event is notable as the pinnacle of professional Canadian football, with a history that makes it a significant national tradition. The Toronto Argonauts hold the record for the most championship wins historically, while the Edmonton Elks lead in wins since the league's modern era began in 1958. Its status as a major cultural event underscores its importance beyond just sports.
The Grey Cup has been in the news recently due to the conclusion of the 112th championship. Held in Winnipeg on November 16, 2025, the game saw the Saskatchewan Roughriders defeat the Montreal Alouettes. Recent headlines have covered the team's celebration, player reactions, and analysis of key performances, including the offensive line and the game's most valuable player.
