For the second straight season, the Eastern Semi-Final will feature a crossover team from the West. And for a second consecutive year, that team is the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

The Bombers will visit Toronto on Semi-Final Saturday looking for a better result than last year’s crossover trip. 2025 saw Winnipeg fall 42-33 to the Montreal Alouettes in a highly entertaining game that ended the visitors’ run of consecutive Grey Cup appearances at five.

Winnipeg’s veteran core wants another shot at a championship. The upstart Argos are looking for a deep run as they return to the playoffs after a one-year hiatus.
