Hamilton Tiger Cats Open CBS Sports Network's 2026 CFL Slate

CBS Sports Network’s 2026 CFL schedule opens with the hamilton tiger cats hosting the Montreal Alouettes on Thursday, June 4, 2026 at 7:30pm ET. The network’s lineup again includes 34 games, giving U.S. viewers a steady weekly window into a 21-week season built around an 18-game schedule and three bye weeks.

June 4 at 7:30pm ET

Hamilton’s home date with Montreal leads the broadcast list and lands as the first game in the 2026 CFL schedule. CBS Sports Network will televise it live in the United States, with the Tiger-Cats and Alouettes setting the tone for the first week of coverage.

The rest of the opening stretch follows quickly. Winnipeg visits Calgary on Friday, June 5 at 9:00pm ET, and Edmonton plays at Ottawa on Saturday, June 6 at 7:00pm ET. Those three games make the first week of the network schedule a compact showcase of the league’s early slate.

Hamilton, Winnipeg, Montreal

Hamilton shows up again on Thursday, June 11 at Winnipeg at 8:30pm, then Montreal hosts Ottawa on Sunday, June 28 at 7:00pm. The Tiger-Cats also reappear in the same broadcast package, which gives the network two separate Hamilton dates in the opening month of the CFL season.

For viewers who want every game, the rest of the schedule sits outside the CBS Sports Network package. Games not televised there will be available to stream for free via CFL+, while all CFL games are televised in Canada by The Sports Network in English and Réseau des sports in French.

McMahon Stadium on Nov. 15

The broader season runs toward the 113th Grey Cup on Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026 at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, Alberta, with CFL+ carrying the title game live at 6:00pm ET outside North America. For Hamilton, the immediate marker is simpler: June 4 brings the first U.S.-televised CFL game of the year, and the league’s broadcast map is already set around it.
