The 2010 Canadian Football League schedule kicks off with a Grey Cup rematch, features classic Labour Day match-ups, and promises to go down to the wire.
The 2010 schedule released Monday is capped by the 98th Grey Cup Game in Edmonton on Sunday, Nov. 28.
It also features the first regular season CFL game ever played in Atlantic Canada, with the Edmonton Eskimos meeting the Toronto Argonauts in Moncton on September 26 in CFL Touchdown Atlantic, the name chosen by Moncton area fans.
Other highlights include:
- A Canada Day Kickoff including a rematch of the 97th Grey Cup Game when the Saskatchewan Roughriders host the Montreal Alouettes on Canada Day, July 1st, followed by the Toronto Argonauts visiting the Calgary Stampeders later that evening, and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers hosting the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday, July 2 and the BC Lions visiting the Edmonton Eskimos on Sunday, July 4.
- The CFL Retro goes seventies: This year the CFL and its teams are celebrating the 1970s with retro-themed jerseys by Reebok during Week 6 and 7.
- The Labour Day Classic Weekend match-ups featuring the Lions at Montreal, the Bombers in Regina, the Argos visiting Hamilton and the Eskimos travelling to Calgary.
- Thanksgiving Weekend games that include the Eskimos visiting Hamilton, the Argos in Regina, Calgary in Montreal and British Columbia at Winnipeg.
- A final weekend that takes on added significance after the battle for playoff spots went down to the very last game of 2009, this year has the Stamps visiting Winnipeg, the Lions in Hamilton, the Eskimos in Saskatchewan and the Argos travelling to Montreal.
- The CFL Playoffs featuring the Eastern and Western Semi-Finals on Sunday, Nov. 14 and the Eastern and Western Finals on Sunday November 21.

looks good to me, similar to last year. Im looking forward to seeing how the touchdown atlantic game goes and the reaction to it in Moncton. also the Toronto-Montreal game at the end of the season will once again be meaningless.

was just pointed out to me, but the Eskimoes have an all-outdoor schedule this regualr season, likely for the last time in CFL history. no BC place stadium this year and they don't play in the Rogers center (because of the touchdown atlantic game). thought it was interesting

And again the Bombers only visit Calgary once this season.

^^^^
that's because they are in the east and there are 8 teams, until something changes that will be the way it is
CFL sked = each team plays the team from the other division twice home and away, within the division each team plays 2 of the divisional teams 3 times, and one 4 times, rotating each year. (ex. Stamps played Sask 4 times in 08, Edm 4 times last season and plays BC 4 times this season)

I thought they used to play some teams from the east 3 times. Maybe I'm just getting confused with the Bombers changing divisions every 5 years. I know the old timers and purists would have me for suggesting it. But for a while now I've thought the CFL should get rid of the divisions and have a 8 team league. Every one plays everyone an even amount of times, or close to, and the top 6 make the playoffs. I know we would lose the east/west Grey Cup match up, but we already could potentially have that with the crossover in place. Having divisions in an 8 team league just seems silly and pointless to me.
