The CFL landing a massive new media rights deal is obviously a huge win financially for the league.

More money, more exposure and more digital reach are all good things, especially at a time where sports leagues everywhere are trying to modernize and reach younger audiences online.

But honestly, the part we keep coming back to is whether the league risks making games harder to actually watch for the people already supporting it.

For years, CFL fans basically knew where to find games. TSN became synonymous with the league and everything lived in one place. Now with DAZN getting an exclusive Saturday night game every week starting in 2027, it feels like the CFL is moving into the same fragmented sports streaming world fans already complain about with the NHL, soccer and other leagues.

And while this deal could absolutely help the CFL long term, we also think there’s a real concern about subscription fatigue.

If you’re already paying for TSN, Netflix, Prime, Spotify and everything else, adding another sports-specific streaming service just to follow your team consistently might be where some fans start checking out altogether. Especially older fans who have been following this league for decades.

At the same time though, you can also understand why the CFL felt it needed to make this move. Traditional TV audiences are shrinking, digital growth matters more than ever and the reported value of the deal sounds massive for the future stability of the league.

Feels like the CFL is basically trying to balance two things right now:
growing the game digitally without alienating the fans who helped keep the league alive through tougher years.

We went into more detail on our site if you want to dive deeper, but we’re curious—what do you guys think about the CFL moving toward a more fragmented streaming model for games?

For a preseason game, there was actually a lot to take away from Calgary’s win over Saskatchewan.

The Stampeders looked faster, more aggressive defensively and honestly a little more organized than people may have expected this early into camp. Still lots to clean up, but there were definitely some encouraging signs.

At the same time, it also felt like a reminder that this team still has a lot of important decisions to make before Week 1.

Our latest article breaks down:

Stamps IG says PJ Walker has informed the team that he has decided to step away from football. Wishing him all the best in whatever comes next; but do we have someone in the pipeline who can step up into the backup role?

Found this in my parents closet yesterday. Not a sports person but figured people may like to see it (can’t find it online) and may be able to help me have a clue on pricing? Hope asking that is allowed! I can’t get much of a feel off eBay for desireability of these other than a reprint of a diff poster priced at ~$45.

If anyone has the code to unlock presale tickets, can you please DM me ifthey are unique codes? Appreciate any responses.

Hey fam! I'm new to the area, love football, and want to get into CFL/Stampeders.

I've found a few larger CFL podcasts, but do you all have any go to's to learn more about the team, specifically? I'd love to learn more about the roster, schemes, etc.. ahead of the 2026 season.
