EDMONTON – The stage is officially set for Edmonton.
Courtesy of their 33-26 victory in Saturday's West Division Semi-Final presented by Wegovy, the BC Lions will head to Commonwealth for Saturday, Nov. 7's Western Final.
The game will kickoff at Play Alberta Field at Commonwealth Stadium at 5:30 pm MT, with the two teams vying for their spot in the 113th Grey Cup in Calgary.
The Elks split the season series against the Lions 1-1, but haven't played the West Coast squad since Edmonton's 17-15 victory on July 17 at Commonwealth.
The last time Edmonton hosted a home playoff game, they punched their ticket to the 103rd Grey Cup courtesy of a 45-31 victory over the Calgary Stampeders in the 2015 Western Division Final in front of 34,414 fans.
The Green and Gold would go on to capture their 14th Grey Cup in franchise history in a 26-20 win over the Ottawa REDBLACKS.
Tickets for the Western Final presented by Wegovy are on sale, and fans can secure their playoff tickets HERE.
