The two teams
The REDBLACKS lost 41 to 20 to the B.C. Lions in Vancouver on Friday October 9 2026, The Canadian Press reported on TSN and 3DownNation reported. The result left Ottawa at 0 wins and 16 losses, last in the East Division, and clinched a playoff place for B.C.
Toronto is 9 wins and 7 losses, second in the East Division, according to Stats Crew.
3DownNation reported on October 2 2026 that 15 straight losses was already a CFL record for the start of a season. The earlier mark was 14, by the 1994 Shreveport Pirates.
The teams last met on September 12 2026 at BMO Field in Toronto. The Argonauts won 26 to 23 on a field goal with no time left, 3DownNation reported.

Getting there
Transit. OC Transpo says event tickets are valid to ride transit from 3 hours before the event until 3 hours after. The REDBLACKS’ transportation page gives the same window for OC Transpo, the O-Train, STO and Para Transpo. The team lists the 450-series game-day buses, which run from 2 hours before kickoff to 90 minutes after the game, and two free shuttles, from Carleton University and from Canada Post headquarters, which run from 2 hours before kickoff to 90 minutes after the final whistle.
Parking. Sources differ. TD Place’s parking page says underground parking is not available when there is a REDBLACKS game, that prepaid parking is unavailable for REDBLACKS games, and that the garage closes 3 hours before each game. The REDBLACKS say the garage is reserved for prepaid parking passes only, starting 5 hours before kickoff, with entry from Queen Elizabeth Drive.
Accessible entry. The REDBLACKS say Gate 4 is no longer an accessible entry, and that accessible entry is at Gate 1 and Frank Clair Way.
