TORONTO – The 97th Grey Cup Game, which will be played on Sunday, November 29 in Calgary, will be available to Canadian Football League fans based in the United States, the CFL announced today.

“While we often say that nothing brings Canadians together like our championship game, the Grey Cup, the truth is some of our most passionate fans reside in the U.S.,” said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. “We’re pleased that many of them will be able to experience the game this year.”

The game, from Calgary’s McMahon Stadium, kicks off at 4:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on Sunday, November 29th. It is broadcast in Canada exclusively on TSN (and exclusively on RDS in French).

Yesterday I saw something on the CFL website that the GC was being carried in the US by Versus. That seems to have vanished.
