OTTAWA - The Ottawa REDBLACKS are heading back to the nation's capital for training camp in 2026, with the team set to take the field beginning May 10 at TD Place.

"We're excited to be bringing training camp back to Ottawa in 2026," said Vice President of Football Operations Shawn Burke. "When Coach Dinwiddie and I discussed what we felt was best for our 2026 team we determined being here in Ottawa at TD Place was the ideal scenario. The energy and support in our city matter and having camp here allows us to strengthen that bond between the club and the community while giving us the best opportunity to have a successful start to the season."

Rookie camp will open May 6, with full training camp getting underway May 10. All but one of the team's main camp practices will take place at TD Place and are open to the public. More details on practice times and dates will be shared leading up to training camp.
