Their first home game will be eight days later, when the Redblacks host the Montreal Alouettes on Friday, June 13, at TD Place, where last season they had the best home record (7-1-1) in the CFL.
“We know that our fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of our 2025 schedule,” Redblacks president Adrian Sciarra said Thursday. “TD Place was a stronghold for our team last year, with our best home record ever, and we can’t wait to build on that success and deliver another season of exciting football at Lansdowne.”
The traditional Canada Day game will be on Sunday, June 29, with the Grey Cup champion Toronto Argos providing the opposition.
The Redblacks’ two byes are Week 13 and Week 17.
Ottawa is idle in the first week of the pre-season schedule before a pair of tuneups against the Alouettes on Saturday, May 24, in Montreal and at TD Place on Friday, May 30.
