**TORONTO (November 9, 2026)** – McMahon Stadium will be home to the 113th Grey Cup on Sunday, November 15, but in the lead-up to the Canadian Football League’s (CFL) premiere event, the League and Football Alberta have partnered to crown another team of champions.

On Friday, November 13, ten girls’ high school flag football teams from across Alberta will come together for the Grey Cup Flag Football Championship. Teams will wear the colours of the nine CFL clubs, with one squad donning the red and another proudly representing the white, of the hometown Stampeders.

“We’re thrilled to welcome some of the province’s best high school players to this celebration of the game,” said Taylor Stiles, Executive Director of Football Alberta. “Over 120 young women gathering, competing and growing together elevates the state of flag football in our province and in Canada.”

“We’re proud to partner with Football Alberta to bring this event to life for young athletes from across the province. It’s an opportunity to grow the game, inspire the next generation and build on the incredible momentum behind flag football. With Canada coming off a gold medal at the 2026 Flag Football World Championship and the sport set for its Olympic debut at LA28, there’s never been a better time to showcase its future at the Grey Cup,” said CFL Commissioner Stewart Johnston.

Morning round-robin play beginning at 8 a.m. ABT will be conducted at the indoor Seasonal Dome at Shouldice Athletic Park. At 3 p.m., the action shifts to the Grey Cup Festival grounds at the TELUS Family Zone for seeding and medal games. The championship is slated to begin at approximately 8 p.m., with the last two teams competing for a new addition to triumphantly display in their school’s trophy case. The complete event schedule is available [here](https://www.footballalberta.ab.ca/division/4474/40408/games).

The tournament will serve as a Demonstration Event by School Sport Alberta – a non-profit organization that coordinates worthwhile athletic activities in an educational setting for the province’s young people from over 400 member high schools.
