# 1986 Calgary Stampeders season

The 1986 Calgary Stampeders finished in fourth place in the West Division with a 11–7 record. They made the playoffs due to a new rule, in which a fourth place team from one division can qualify for the playoffs as long as they earned more points than the third place team from the opposing division. However, the Stampeders would remain in the West division throughout the playoffs. They faced division rival Edmonton Eskimos in the West Semi-Finals, where they lost 27–18.
