The welcome party starts on Monday at 1:30 p.m. at Gate 3 of Mosaic Stadium.
Free parking is available at the REAL District and Mosaic Stadium.
There won’t be an opportunity for autographs or individual photos with the cup at this time. Fans can expect short remarks from the team and a live look at the Grey Cup in the hands of the Riders.
The program will last around 30 minutes.
Fans are reminded that the Roughriders do not deplane through the airport terminal at the Regina International Airport, so fans should not wait for the team there.
“Fans’ first opportunity to greet the team will be at the Stadium – not to worry, we are headed straight there after we land,” the team said in a statement.
Parade on Tuesday
The official championship parade will take place on Tuesday, starting at 2 p.m.
“The whole team will parade down Albert Street in vehicles driven by the Royal Canadian Armed Forces, culminating with a special ceremony complete with speeches from Head Coach Corey Mace and our Grey Cup MVP Trevor Harris,” it said.
“It will be a moment filled with cherished memories for the team and Rider Nation to make together.”
Fans are asked to line up on the “Green Mile” on Albert Street, from 13th Avenue to 20th Avenue at the Legislative Building.
Street closures will be in effect along the parade route.
Parking will not be available at the Legislative Grounds.
The Riders and the Grey Cup are expected to arrive at the Legislative Building at around 3 p.m.
Fans are asked to celebrate responsibly, dress for the weather and expect large crowds.
