FAN-FRIENDLY DATES AND IN-STADIUM ENTERTAINMENT PROVIDES SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats, in conjunction with the Canadian Football League, have released the football club’s schedule for the 2025 CFL season.

This year’s slate features an incredibly fan-friendly schedule, with eight of the team’s nine regular season home dates taking place on weekends or holidays. The Tiger-Cats home schedule includes three Friday night games, three Saturday night games, one Saturday afternoon game, and one Thursday evening game, while the annual Labour Day Classic will kick off on Monday, September 1.

Among the highlights of this year’s home schedule:

Saturday, June 14: The Home Opener against Saskatchewan presented by FirstOntario

The most anticipated day on the local sports calendar will once again feature a late afternoon kickoff (2:30 p.m.) and exciting lineup of musical performances that will entertain fans all day long.

Saturday, September 20: Canadian Football Hall of Fame Game against Edmonton
The rich history of Canadian football will be on display when the Canadian Football Hall of Fame welcomes the Class of 2025 at the annual Hall of Fame Game in Hamilton.

The Wall of Honour Game
The tradition of recognizing Tiger-Cats legends who have made a lasting impact on the franchise continues. Further details, including the date of the game and this year’s honouree(s), will be announced in the near future.

 

Hamilton’s best-in-class in-stadium entertainment experience will once again include:

Families on the field
After every game, fans can head down to the field and let loose! Play tag, snap some fun photos, take in the excitement, and make unforgettable memories together. This family-friendly activity is one of the most thrilling and unique experiences you’ll find on game day.

Live music in the Stipley at every game
After a wildly successful debut last season, the Stipley fan experience is back and better than ever! Get ready for live music at every home game, set against the vibrant backdrop of Stipley’s 18,000 square feet of social space in the south end zone. It’s the ultimate patio hangout, complete with exclusive food and drink options.

Places to connect and socialize throughout the stadium
From the Stipley in the south end zone, to the Coors Banquet Bar and FirstOntario Community Lounge on the second level of the east side, to Stripes’ Jungle playground in the Findlay Family Zone on the northwest corner of the stadium, there’s exciting experiences for fans of all ages on gameday.

South Plaza Saturdays
Prior to each of the Tiger-Cats’ Saturday home games, fans are invited to the south plaza for the ultimate pre-game experience featuring alumni autograph sessions, exciting giveaways, inflatable play areas, mascot photo opportunities, and much more.

“We’re always listening to our fans and working closely with the CFL to create a schedule that works for everyone,” said Matt Afinec, President and COO of Business Operations, Hamilton Sports Group. “This year, we’re excited to offer a terrific mix of game dates, kickoff times and in-stadium experiences that fit the needs of all our fans—whether they’re season seat holders, families, or part of our business community. The energy and passion from our fans truly makes our stadium the best place to be on game day, and we’re excited to see our fans fuel our home field advantage this season.”
