The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will open their 2022 CFL season on the road against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, according to the newly released league schedule.
Just days after the Grey Cup Final at Tim Horton’s field, the league revealed the new timetable which will see next year’s Grey Cup game kick off at 6 p.m. ET at Mosaic Stadium in Regina in November.
“2021 was our comeback season and our fans welcomed back our great game with energy, excitement and enthusiasm,” CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie said in a release.
“Our players and teams answered with action and entertainment, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to begin the journey to Saskatchewan for the 109 Grey Cup on Sunday, November 20, (2022).”
The reigning East Division champion Tiger-Cats will play their first home game against the Stamps on June 18 in week two against the Calgary Stampeders.
“The incredible atmosphere and home field advantage our fans create at Tim Hortons Field was on full display in 2021, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back next May to do it all over again,” Matt Afinec, president and chief operating officer of the Tiger-Cats said in a statement.
All teams will play 18 games with no more than two consecutive home or road games at any point throughout the season.
Other highlights for the Ticats included a Canada Day matchup against the Edmonton Elks and a Labour Day Classic game against the Toronto Argonauts.
The longstanding rivalry with the Argos will be fuelled by four contests, twice at Tim Hortons Field and twice at BMO Field in Toronto.
Due to the unbalance schedule, Hamilton will not host the B.C. Lions or visit the Edmonton Elks in 2022.
