What are the latest Grey Cup matchup updates?
The East and West champions are now known, leaving one game to decide the CFL title. Montreal arrives after an emphatic passing performance in the Eastern Final. Quarterback Davis Alexander completed 23 of 35 passes for 373 yards and two touchdowns, and Montreal’s 33–23 victory ended Winnipeg’s season. Receiver Tyson Philpot added 129 yards on nine catches. The CFL reported that Montreal has reached its third Grey Cup in four seasons. Read the CFL game report.
Edmonton’s route was built around defence and quarterback Cody Fajardo’s running. The Elks pulled away from BC after a 16–16 tie in the fourth quarter, finishing with a 28–16 win. Fajardo ran for 84 yards and a touchdown, and Edmonton forced a late fumble that helped protect the lead. The club is back in the championship game for the first time since 2015, according to the CFL’s recap. See Edmonton’s Western Final recap.
How did the CFL playoff results shape the final?
The postseason’s opening weekend produced two close eliminations: Winnipeg edged Toronto 25–22 in the Eastern Semi-Final, and BC defeated Saskatchewan 33–26 in the West. The semifinal winners then met the division leaders. Montreal defeated Winnipeg 33–23, while Edmonton eliminated BC 28–16. Those results set an East-versus-West championship between the Alouettes and Elks. CFL report: Winnipeg’s semifinal win.
The scorelines point to two different paths into the final, rather than guaranteeing how the championship will unfold. Montreal’s playoff opener showed its ability to create explosive passing yards; Edmonton’s victory highlighted mobile quarterback play and disruptive defence. Those are confirmed performances from the division finals. Whether either approach carries over against a new opponent will depend on execution in Calgary.

What could decide Montreal vs. Edmonton?
Montreal’s passing production against Winnipeg makes the Alouettes’ ability to sustain that aerial attack a key question. Edmonton will look to build on the run threat and defensive takeaways that helped it beat BC. These are matchup considerations based on the two teams’ latest playoff performances, not predictions of the result. The CFL has confirmed the date, venue and participants; the champion remains to be decided on the field.
