Host

On November 3, 2022, it was announced that the game had been awarded to the city of Vancouver and the host BC Lions.[1] The Winnipeg Blue Bombers were reportedly also bidding to host this game, but also submitted a bid for the 112th Grey Cup game.[2]

Date

The date of this game was not announced, but if existing scheduling formulas are used, then this game would be played on November 17, 2024 (the third Sunday of November).[3][4] However, as per the latest Collective Bargaining Agreement, the league has the option of moving the start of the season up to 30 days, which could significantly alter the date of this game.[5]
