Best CFL Stadiums Ranked: 2026 Edition

All nine CFL stadiums have been built over decades, with the first opening in 1915.  

While some stadiums may impact football betting or CFL picks due to the size or how loud the fans can be, there’s more to it when it comes to ranking the best stadiums. 

Below, I’ll rank all CFL stadiums in order of what I believe is the best, taking into account the size, location, and unique characteristics. 

CFL Stadiums Ranked: Which Are the Best?

1. Saskatchewan Roughriders – Mosaic Stadium

Opening on July 1, 2017, Mosaic Stadium is the newest stadium in the CFL and home to the Roughriders. It cost $278 million to build, and its modern look is incredibly appealing. 

HKS Inc. designed the stadium. This is important because they worked on AT&T Stadium and Lucas Oil Stadium in the NFL. 

The partial roof provides enough shelter for attendees while giving them an authentic outdoor football experience from the unique green seats.

2. Toronto Argonauts – BMO Field

The Argonauts share a field with Toronto FC in MLS, and the colour scheme reflects the soccer team’s. 

Besides that, the soccer stadium feels open and modern. Its multi-use nature allows for a unique viewing experience. 

I’m also a sucker for a stadium right off the coast of a body of water, which is the case here. Depending on where you sit, it makes for an even better viewing experience.

3. BC Lions – BC Place

Hey, it’s quite cold in Canada, and BC Place is the only domed stadium. While I like the lakeside stadiums, having one indoors allows games to be devoid of the natural elements and gives the players on the field the best opportunity to perform. 

So, with BC Place, I’m willing to sacrifice some modern indoor appearance for what could lead to excellent offence on the field.

4. Winnipeg Blue Bombers – Princess Auto Stadium

Another modern-looking stadium is the newly-named Princess Auto Stadium. The name change came in April 2024. 

This feels similar to the Seattle Seahawks’ NFL stadium, with its unique roof design. The seating also feels compact and wraps around the stadium, making you feel closer to the action. 

It also helps that the Blue Bombers have been to every Grey Cup since 2019. 

This stadium has also hosted NHL games, including the Heritage Classic in 2016, in which the Winnipeg Jets lost to the Edmonton Oilers.

5. Edmonton Elks – Commonwealth Stadium

The scattered paint-looking seating colour scheme makes this incredibly appealing. Additionally, the placement of the Elks logo, which extends nearly across the entire field, is unique, unlike a turned logo that’s more centred. 

The only issue is that the first-row seats feel far from the field. 

This stadium was centre stage in 2023, hosting the Heritage Classic between the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames of the NHL. 

If there was ever a day, game or time to fill Commonwealth Stadium, it's this Saturday vs the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Fill Our House for Larry Thompson. Fill it up for Deb, the Thompson Family, the players, coaches, organization. Let's show our support Edmonton!#GoElks pic.twitter.com/lmKzAacl6p

6. Ottawa Redblacks – TD Place Stadium

Like Commonwealth, TD Place Stadium also has limited seating behind each end zone, but its roof design is unique.

One side has a straight roof, which protects fans from the elements but could obstruct some views. 

On the side, there’s a NASCAR-like fence, which makes this one of the more interestingly designed stadiums.

7. Hamilton Tiger-Cats – Hamilton Stadium

Hamilton Stadium feels like Acrisure Stadium, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers, thanks to the seating colour scheme and the openness from end zone to end zone. Acrisure has seating, whereas Hamilton Stadium doesn’t, but the openness allows passersby to look in on game days and perhaps get a glimpse of the action. 

There are two massive smoke rings floating over Tim Hortons Field.

I’m pretty sure that means the Hamilton Tiger-Cats have chosen a new quarterback.#Ticats | #Hamilton | #CFL pic.twitter.com/quPqOlSyNk

8. Montreal Alouettes – Percival Molson Memorial Stadium

While I’m all for unique stadium designs, I’m not a fan of the quirky end zones. This happened during the brief CFL expansion in the 1990s with the Memphis Mad Dogs, and I don’t enjoy the lack of uniformity in this stadium. 

The stadium feels more compact, which is OK, especially with fun architecture at the right end zone (if you’re looking for a bird’s-eye view of the stadium with the Alouettes logo facing you). 

Ultimately, the end zone kills it for me.

9. Calgary Stampeders – McMahon Stadium

Sometimes, old stadiums can have charm, but that’s not the case with McMahon Stadium. It was built in 1960, and although there were two renovations, the most recent was about 20 years ago. 

This feels like a high-budget high school field rather than a professional football stadium/venue.
