The Saskatchewan Roughriders will be bringing a pre-season game to Saskatoon's Griffith Stadium for the first time since 1991.

"We know we have incredibly passionate fans in Saskatoon and area and we also know they travel a long way during the summer and fall to attend Rider games," Riders president and CEO Craig Reynolds said at a news conference Friday.

"We know Saskatoon is going to show up with massive energy like they always do and we can't wait until May 2026."

The Riders traditionally start their pre-season training camp at Griffiths Stadium, which is on the University of Saskatchewan campus.

Meanwhile, the club also announced it will hold both regular season games against the Toronto Argonauts at home next season, rather than the traditional home-and-home matchup.

This means Roughrider fans will have the chance to attend 10 regular-season games at Mosaic Stadium next season, according to a news release. As a result, Roughrider season ticket members' packages will now include 10 regular season home games, as opposed to nine regular season and one pre-season tickets. They will also include a possible play-off game.

The club said tickets for the Saskatoon pre-season game will be sold separately.

The full schedule for the 2026 season, including the date of the pre-season game in Saskatoon and the 10th home regular season game, will be unveiled in the off-season.
