- Date: 2025-07-04
- Time: 1:00 AM UTC
- Location: McMahon Stadium
Game Overview
The Calgary Stampeders will host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in a pivotal CFL matchup. Both teams have shown strong form, with Winnipeg holding a slightly better early-season record at 3-0 compared to Calgary's 2-1. The Blue Bombers aim to continue momentum following last season’s Grey Cup finals loss, while the Stampeders look to capitalize on home-field advantage to even the series.
Key Factors to Consider
- Winnipeg has started the season undefeated (3-0), displaying balanced offensive and defensive capabilities. Calgary is 2-1, showing resilience but slightly less consistency. Winnipeg's offense excels in passing yards, while Calgary’s defense has notable rushing yard containment but has vulnerabilities in pass defense.
- Historically, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have had competitive success against Calgary, with recent seasons showing tight contests. Winnipeg won two of three meetings against BC last season, reflecting strong form. The exact prior head-to-head between Calgary and Winnipeg early in 2025 is limited but suggests Winnipeg holds a slight edge.
- No specific recent injuries to key starters have been reported for either team in available data. Both teams appear to have their main rosters intact for this contest.
- Playing at McMahon Stadium gives Calgary a home-field edge. Weather conditions in early July in Calgary are generally favorable for football, and there are no indications of adverse factors affecting play.
- Winnipeg seeks redemption after last year's Grey Cup loss and to extend their undefeated streak this season. Calgary aims to gain ground in the standings and leverage home support to reverse recent losses against Winnipeg.
