The Calgary Stampeders are pleased to announce their game schedule for the 2021 season.

The 14-game regular-season slate begins at McMahon Stadium on Aug. 7 with the Toronto Argonauts providing the opposition and concludes on Nov. 20 when the Winnipeg Blue Bombers come to Calgary.

“I’m so pleased for everyone who enjoys the game of football,” said Stampeders president and general manager John Hufnagel. “We’re all very excited to get started with the season and we can’t wait to see our great fans back in the stands at McMahon Stadium.”

The Stamps’ home schedule also features the traditional Labour Day Classic against Edmonton as well as two visits by the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The Stampeders Ticket Office will be in contact with season-ticket members in the coming days and weeks as plans for fans attending games take shape in accordance with guidelines established by Province of Alberta public health officials.

The 2021 campaign will be the 75th in franchise history. The Stampeders were born in 1945 when the Western Interprovincial Football Union held playoffs after the league had suspended operations during World War II. Calgary’s first regular season took place in 1946.

Here are some key points of the Red and White’s schedule:

• There are no pre-season games
• Division play is emphasized in 2021 with 10 games against West rivals. The Stamps will play three games against both Saskatchewan and BC and two games against Edmonton and Winnipeg. Six of the Stamps’ final seven games will be against division opponents
• Calgary plays a total of four games against the East Division with home dates with Montreal and Toronto and road games against Hamilton and Ottawa
• The home schedule features four Saturday games

The division playoffs will be played on Nov. 28 and Dec. 5 and the Grey Cup will be played in Hamilton on Dec. 12.
