Host
editIn October 2022, it was reported that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers were bidding to host either the 2024 or 2025 Grey Cup game, with the Manitoba government offering to contribute up to $5.5 million for the bid.[2] After the 2024 Grey Cup was awarded to the city of Vancouver and the BC Lions, it was later reported on March 3, 2023, that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers had won the right to host the 2025 Grey Cup.[3] On March 14, 2023, it was officially announced that Winnipeg would be the host of this game.[1]
Date
editThe date for this game was not initially announced and, as per the latest Collective Bargaining Agreement, the league had the option of moving the start of the season up to 30 days.[4][5] However, the league revealed on August 16, 2024, that this game would be played on the third Sunday of November for the fourth consecutive season, on November 16, 2025.[6] This will tie the 85th Grey Cup and 91st Grey Cup games as the earliest to be played in a calendar year.[7]
