TORONTO — The first week of the 2026 CFL season delivered no shortage of excitement, but not enough to shake up last week’s AMSOIL Power Rankings.

The Montreal Alouettes rallied for an overtime victory in Hamilton, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers walked off the Calgary Stampeders with a late field goal and the Edmonton Elks opened their campaign with an encouraging road win over Ottawa.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders, BC Lions and Toronto Argonauts all had Week 1 byes, meaning some of the league’s biggest contenders are only now preparing to begin their 2026 journeys. That makes Week 2 one of the most intriguing slates of the young season.

As always, the AMSOIL Power Rankings are a snapshot of where every team stands right now, balancing recent performances with overall expectations. With all nine clubs set to take the field by the end of the week, here’s how they stack up heading into Week 2.
