The Calgary Stampeders kick off the August portion of their 2025 Canadian Football League schedule with a home date against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Kickoff for Saturday's contest at McMahon Stadium is 5 p.m. MDT.
It's the third meeting in six weeks between the West Division foes with Calgary having prevailed in the first two encounters - 37-16 at McMahon Stadium in Week 5 during the inaugural Stampede Bowl and 41-20 in Winnipeg in Week 7. The Stamps are attempting to complete their first sweep of a season series with the Blue Bombers since 2016 when Calgary took all three meetings with Winnipeg.
Calgary (5-3) is looking to get back into the win column after losing back-to-back games against Montreal and Ottawa. Last week's game in the Nation's Capital saw the Redblacks down the Red and White by a score of 31-11.
Meanwhile, Winnipeg (4-3) snapped a three-game losing streak last week with a 40-31 home-field victory over the Toronto Argonauts.
Calgary and Winnipeg are among the best defensive teams in the CFL as the Stampeders have allowed their opponents a league-low 11 offensive touchdowns while the Blue Bombers are tied for second in that category with 16 offensive majors yielded.
The Stamps are 3-0 against West Division rivals so far this season and 2-2 on their home turf. The Blue Bombers are 3-2 against the West and 1-2 on the road.
