Create Account Both the Toronto Argonauts and B.C. Lions will play home games away from their respective venues during the World Cup, which will be held from June 11 to July 19 with contests in Canada, Mexico and the United States. Vancouver and Toronto will combine to host 13 matches, with Toronto's BMO Field staging six, including Canada's first-ever World Cup game on home soil June 12. Seven games will be played at B.C. Place Stadium, including Canada's group matches on June 18 and 24. Vancouver will also host knockout stage games July 2 (round of 32) and July 7 (round of 16). The CFL announced Friday that the Argonauts will play home games at Hamilton Stadium, Mosaic Stadium in Regina and Winnipeg's Princess Auto Stadium against the host teams during the World Cup. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The Lions will relocate for two home games, with the club planning to announce those details at a later time. 'The World Cup is a cultural event, uniting entire countries and communities under a single flag,' CFL commissioner Stewart Johnston said in a statement. 'As Toronto and Vancouver welcome the world, we're grateful to other cities and their tremendous fans for so generously making a home away from home for the Argonauts and the Lions.' Following the World Cup, BMO Field will require time to be retrofitted back to CFL standards. 'To our incredible fans in Toronto: your passion and loyalty mean the world to us,' said Argos GM Mike (Pinball) Clemons. 'This temporary move is about showcasing our city and stadium to the world — and when we return, it'll be with even more energy, excitement and noise!' The CFL added that both the Argos' and Lions' schedules next season will be made to re-establish home-field advantage for the second half of the 2026 campaign. This will mark the first time the World Cup will be hosted by three countries, as 48 teams from six confederations are slated to participate in the global event.

Argonauts looking to extend mastery over rival Redblacks
(Photo credit: Anne-Marie Sorvin-Imagn Images) The Toronto Argonauts look to continue their dominance of their provincial rival on Saturday afternoon when they host the Ottawa Redblacks. The Argonauts (2-6) recorded a 29-16 victory over the Redblacks (2-6) on June 29 to improve to 19-6 in the teams' meetings since Ottawa entered the league in 2014. Nick Arbuckle threw for 269 yards with one score in that contest and entered this week ranked second in the CFL in passing yards (2,334) and tied for second in touchdown passes (13). The reigning Grey Cup MVP threw for 327 yards and two touchdowns in a 40-31 loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last weekend. Both scoring strikes went to Damonte Coxie, who set career highs in catches (nine) and receiving yards (187). Coxie leads the league in receiving yards (774) for the season. Unfortunately for the Argonauts, they allowed rookie Trey Vaval to score on a 93-yard kickoff return and a 97-yard punt return. 'It was huge,' Toronto head coach Ryan Dinwiddie said. 'We gifted them three touchdowns, two on special teams and then the fumble (return TD). 'We're not playing good enough football to overcome some of that stuff. But we had a chance, just didn't make enough plays. Our special teams units, we've got to find a way to get better. A lot of missed tackles out there.' While the Argos fell short last week, the Redblacks returned from a bye and snapped a four-game losing streak with a 31-11 victory over the Calgary Stampeders on July 31. Dru Brown passed for 225 yards, highlighted by a pair of scoring strikes to Justin Hardy in the second quarter. The two-TD performance was the first in Hardy's CFL career. Crum threw for a touchdown and rushed for another in the earlier meeting against the Argonauts. 'We talk about stacking things and stacking wins,' Redblacks head coach Bob Dyce said, per the Ottawa Citizen. 'The only thing we're focused on now is stacking for (this Saturday). But definite positive things happened out there.'
