If you’ve been looking forward to the 113th Grey Cup coming to Calgary, you now have another reason to get excited. The CFL recently announced the entertainment lineup for the big game, and it’s stacked with big Canadian and international names.
Country singer Riley Green will headline the Bud Light Grey Cup Halftime Show at McMahon Stadium on Nov. 15, with more performances planned before kickoff.
Here’s a look at who’s performing during the 2026 Grey Cup.
What to expect at the 2026 Grey Cup Halftime Show
Who will be performing?
Plenty of entertainment is planned before the Grey Cup even begins. Before the game, country group James Barker Band will perform during the SiriusXM Grey Cup Kickoff Show.
The group has become a familiar name in the country music scene, with hits including “Chills,” Keep It Simple,” and “New Old Trucks.”
Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor are also set to perform before the game. Blue Rodeo has earned 12 JUNO Awards and a spot in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
The duo will warm up the crowd before Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan takes the stage to perform “O Canada” ahead of kickoff.
Once the game starts, Riley Green will headline the Bud Light Grey Cup Halftime Show. The country star is behind songs like “There Was This Girl” and “You Look Like You Love Me” with Ella Langley.
When is the 2026 Grey Cup?
The Grey Cup will take place on Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026, at 5 p.m., but the celebrations will start several days before the big game.
The Cenovus Energy 2026 Grey Cup Festival will run from Nov. 11 to Nov. 15, 2026, at Stampede Park, with live entertainment, family-friendly activities and football events happening throughout the week.
Where is the 2026 Grey Cup?
The 113th Grey Cup will take place at McMahon Stadium in northwest Calgary.
How much are tickets?
Tickets for the 2026 Grey Cup currently start at $280.74, including fees, which can be purchased through Ticketmaster. If you want to catch the game and the halftime show in person, you’ll want to buy tickets sooner rather than later.
If I don’t have tickets, where can I watch it?
According to the CFL, the Grey Cup game and the Bud Light Grey Cup Halftime Show will be broadcast live across the nation on TSN, CTV, RDS and Crave. It will also be available internationally on the league’s free live streaming platform, CFL+.
While we’ve still got a little while to wait, the Grey Cup will be here before we know it. We’ll be counting down the days until Nov. 15!
