Each of the first 12 weeks of the regular season will have one game a day from Thursday through Sunday. The season ends with the Grey Cup on Sunday, November 17, 2024, at BC Place.
This marks the first time the CFL has had a balanced schedule since the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2021, some teams have played each other four times as it would cut down on travel costs.
Fans can view the full schedule from preseason to regular season on the CFL website.
