A win would improve Edmonton to 10-3 and clinch a post-season berth as Calgary could get Reggie Begelton back.
- The Edmonton Elks host the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday seeking their first playoff berth in six years. A victory would improve Edmonton's record to 10-3 and clinch a post-season spot.
- Riding a three-game win streak, the Elks sit atop the CFL West Division after building a winning foundation. Running back Justin Rankin stated, "We know how to win," reflecting the team's organizational transformation.
- Head coach Mark Kilam credits the defensive unit as instrumental to the division lead, noting they allowed a CFL-low 307 points. "They've been the backbone of our team all year," Kilam said Friday after the team's walk-through.
- Team president and CEO Chris Morris called clinching a playoff spot a "really, really strong accomplishment" for the organization. Players view the opportunity as a chance to reward the community for its support throughout the season.
- Wide receiver Reggie Begelton is scheduled to make his season debut for the Calgary Stampeders after a 15-month absence. The 33-year-old hasn't played since fracturing his leg during a 2025 game against the Toronto Argonauts.
