CFL Training Camps Open for 2026 Season

Training camps opened Sunday across the Canadian Football League, with the Toronto Argonauts and eight other teams beginning preparations for the 2026 regular season that kicks off June 4 when the Montreal Alouettes visit the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

All nine teams enter camp following an active free agency period and offseason roster adjustments, aiming to build on last year's results. Saskatchewan won the 2025 Grey Cup, while clubs addressed departures through trades, releases and signings.

In the East Division, Montreal added backup quarterback Dustin Crum but lost middle linebacker Darnell Sankey and defensive back Dionte Ruffin to B.C. Davis Alexander returns as starter with a 1-10 regular-season record, limited to seven starts last year by a hamstring injury. Defensive lineman Issac Adeyemi-Berglund had 11 sacks in 2025 and will be key on defence.

Ottawa named Ryan Dinwiddie head coach and general manager after his two Grey Cup wins with Toronto. The Redblacks signed linebacker A.J. Allen from Saskatchewan, receiver Ayden Eberhardt from B.C. and kicker Brett Lauther. Dru Brown is the starter, backed by Jake Maier.
