Hamilton Tiger-Cats Host Toronto Argonauts in Annual Labour Day Clash
The winner takes the season series and a tiebreaker, while Toronto can move four points ahead in the East Division with a game in hand.
On Monday, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats host the Toronto Argonauts in their annual Labour Day clash at Hamilton Stadium before a sellout crowd, marking the biggest rivalry game between the two franchises.
Hamilton head coach Scott Milanovich emphasized players are aware this is critical for the battle for second in the East Division, with playoff positioning at stake for both teams.
Toronto quarterback Chad Kelly enters with 3,642 passing yards and 24 touchdowns despite a broken toe, though Hamilton linebacker Wynton McManis expressed skepticism, saying "I don't know if I'm buying it."
The winner claims the season series 2-1 and tiebreaker advantage; Hamilton leads the overall series 37-16-1, though Toronto won three of the last four Labour Day matchups.
Tre Ford makes his sixth start for Hamilton seeking his second win, while Canadian defensive back Devynn Cromwell, a 2026 third-round pick, will make his CFL debut on special teams.
