TORONTO – The Canadian Football League’s championship game will be played in Toronto next year.

BMO Field will host the 2016 Grey Cup, a source has told The Canadian Press.

The CFL is expected to make the official announcement at a news conference Thursday afternoon at a downtown hotel.

Toronto last hosted the championship game in 2012 at Rogers Centre, where the Argonauts beat Calgary 35-22 in the 100th Grey Cup.

The Argonauts will move to BMO Field in 2016. They are currently playing their last season at Rogers Centre, their home since 1989.

This year’s Grey Cup will be played at Winnipeg’s Investors Group Field.

Shaw Communications is the presenting sponsor of the Grey Cup, in addition to leading the innovative content series Shaw Road to the Grey Cup.
