The Calgary Stampeders (0-1) look for their first victory of the 2026 season on Saturday night when they are back in action to face the out-of-town Saskatchewan Roughriders (1-0).
The Stamps suffered a last-play loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers by a score of 30-28 at McMahon Stadium back on June 5. Dedrick Mills rushed for 112 yards and one touchdown while Jalen Philpot was the team's leading receiver with five catches for 96 yards including a 51-yard reception. The Red and White then had a Week 2 bye.
Meanwhile, the Riders were off in Week 1 before taking down the visiting BC Lions 31-27 last Saturday. Quarterback Trevor Harris completed 30 of 36 pass attempts with three majors tossed to Samuel Emilus.
A season ago, the Stamps won both their games over Saskatchewan by a combined score of 56-25. The Stampeders are 11-3 in the last 14 matchups with the Roughriders dating back to the 2019 season.
Calgary will next take on the BC Lions at the Apple Bowl in a Touchdown Kelowna matchup on Saturday, June 27. One day earlier, Saskatchewan will face the Toronto Argonauts in a home game for the Argos played at Regina's Mosaic Stadium due to BMO Field being occupied for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
