Touchdown Kelowna welcomes Stampeders and Elks to the Okanagan in 2026

News Release

It will be a back-to-back home series of epic proportions. On Monday, the BC Lions announced the dates and opponents for Touchdown Kelowna next summer.

It all begins against the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday, June 27 and continues one week later, on Saturday, July 4, with the Edmonton Elks providing the opposition.

Kickoff for these games in weeks four and five is at 4:00 pm PT at the expanded Save-On-Foods Field at the Apple Bowl.

The entire 2026 CFL schedule will be released on Tuesday, December 9.

Originally announced back in September, this exciting two-game series comes with the Lions vacating Save-On-Foods Field at BC Place, as Vancouver prepares to welcome the world for seven matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Following the resounding success of Victoria and Touchdown Pacific in 2024, our Kelowna schedule will also feature an exciting and vibrant festival to celebrate our game in a region that loves BC Lions football. More details on the celebrations will be unveiled early in 2026.

Tickets for the two games are available to the general public on Thursday, February 19.

Before then, BC Lions fans can guarantee their seats for the latest installment of the CFL’s Touchdown series by securing season tickets for the 2026 season. Info on season ticket packages can be found here.
