Stampeders stay in playoff hunt, beat Lions 32-13
The Calgary Stampeders avoided elimination from playoff contention Saturday, but must rely on a division rival to extend their CFL season.
The Calgary Stampeders secured a crucial win against the B.C. Lions, 32-13, on Saturday, maintaining their playoff hopes. However, they now rely on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to lose their next game to keep their season alive. The Stampeders, now at 9-9, needed the Blue Bombers to defeat the Edmonton Elks on Friday for a chance to enter the 2026 playoffs.
The Lions had already clinched second place in the West Division, securing a home game for the division semifinal on Oct. 31. The Calgary victory pushed the defending Grey Cup champion Calgary Roughriders to no worse than fourth in the West, while the third seed heads to Vancouver to face the Lions in the West semifinal.
