Trevor Harris and the Saskatchewan Roughriders are set to welcome Nathan Rourke and the B.C. Lions to Regina’s Mosaic Stadium on Saturday for a spot in the Grey Cup final. Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m.
The Riders currently hold the best record in the league, with 12 wins and six losses, but the Lions are close behind with an 11-7 record. According to the Saskatchewan Roughriders, there are fewer than 1,000 tickets still available for the Western Final.

The 2025 Grey Cup will be contested in Winnipeg, and tickets have already sold out. Regina is set to host the big game in 2027.
