# List of neutral site Canadian Football League games

The Canadian Football League (CFL) has played numerous neutral site games in its history – i.e. games outside of both teams' home cities.
Several Canadian football games have been staged in the United States – the earliest was in 1909, and the most recent was in 1995 during the league's short-lived US expansion.
In the 2005 preseason, and regular seasons of 2010, 2011, 2013, 2019, 2022 and 2023, games in Atlantic Canada were billed as Touchdown Atlantic. In the 2024 regular season, a game branded as Touchdown Pacific was held in Victoria, British Columbia, between the BC Lions and Ottawa Redblacks.
In 2013, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats played most of their season in Guelph, Ontario, due to the construction of Tim Hortons Field at the former Ivor Wynne Stadium. In 2015, CFL games were moved to locations including Fort McMurray, Alberta, as some stadiums were used for the Women's World Cup, Pan-American Games and baseball playoffs.

## List of games

Below is a list of games played by teams from the CFL, and its predecessors the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union and Western Interprovincial Football Union, outside the home city of both teams.
Note: Not included are Grey Cup games, which are played annually at a neutral site. Also not included are interleague games – for example, games between American football and CFL teams, or games where CFL teams played against Ontario Rugby Football Union, Quebec Rugby Football Union or Canadian Intercollegiate Rugby Football Union. These Unions competed for the Grey Cup, or its predecessor the Canadian Dominion Football Championship, in the early years.

### Notes

* $^a$ Cancelled as a result of the Ottawa Renegades suspending operations.

### Proposed locations

In 2018, Mexico was suggested by Commissioner Randy Ambrosie as a possible location for neutral site regular season games (similar to the NFL's Mexico Series), as early as 2019, but these have not happened.
