Grey Cup winners: every champion since 2000 and all Alouettes titles

The Toronto Argonauts have won the most Grey Cups, with 19 titles, the most recent in 2024. The Saskatchewan Roughriders are the reigning champions after beating the Montreal Alouettes 25-17 in the 112th Grey Cup in 2025, and the Alouettes have won the trophy eight times, most recently in 2023. As of November 11, 2026, the 113th Grey Cup, Montreal against Edmonton in Calgary on November 15, has not been played yet; our Grey Cup 2026 guide covers that game.

Below: every current CFL team's Grey Cup record, all winners since 2000, every Alouettes title and the records worth knowing.

Grey Cup wins by team

These are the records of the nine current CFL franchises, as of November 11, 2026, from the list of Grey Cup champions. Totals count each franchise from its current lineage, so older Montreal teams such as the Montreal AAA Winged Wheelers (1931 champions) are listed separately from the Alouettes.

Team Wins Losses Appearances Last win
Toronto Argonauts 19 6 25 2024
Edmonton Elks 14 9 23 2015
Winnipeg Blue Bombers 12 17 29 2021
Ottawa Redblacks 10 8 18 2016
Hamilton Tiger-Cats 8 14 22 1999

Calgary Stampeders 8 9 17 2018
BC Lions 6 4 10 2011
Saskatchewan Roughriders 5 15 20 2025

Three things stand out. Toronto has the best record by far at 19-6. Winnipeg has played in the most Grey Cups, 29, but has lost 17 of them. Saskatchewan has won only 5 of 20, yet two of those five came in the last 13 years (2013 and 2025).

Edmonton played as the Eskimos until the club became the Elks; the table uses each club's current city name.

Montreal has appeared in 10 of the 25 Grey Cups played since 2000, more than any other team, and won four of them. Between 2000 and 2008 the Alouettes reached six Grey Cups and won only one, in 2002, before winning back to back in 2009 and 2010.

Before the Alouettes, the Montreal AAA Winged Wheelers won the 19th Grey Cup in 1931, the first time Montreal hosted the game. The original Alouettes stopped operating in 1987, and the current franchise began when the Baltimore Stallions moved to Montreal in 1996.

Records and firsts

  • First Grey Cup: on December 4, 1909, the University of Toronto Varsity Blues beat the Parkdale Canoe Club 26-6 in front of 3,800 fans.
  • The trophy: commissioned in 1909 by Earl Grey, then Governor General, at a cost of $48. The cup is sterling silver and stands 33 centimetres tall.
  • Most in a row: Edmonton won five straight from 1978 to 1982, a streak no team has matched. Several teams have won three in a row, including Edmonton from 1954 to 1956, all three against Montreal.
  • Back to back in the modern era: Winnipeg (1958-59 and 1961-62), Ottawa (1968-69), Toronto (1996-97) and Montreal (2009-10), according to the CFL Alumni Association.
  • Years with no game: none was played from 1916 to 1919 (World War I, then a rules dispute in 1919) or in 2020 (COVID-19).
  • Only American winner: the Baltimore Stallions won in 1995, a year after losing the 1994 game.
  • CFL era: the Canadian Football League formed on January 18, 1958, and took control of the trophy from the Canadian Rugby Union.

Alouettes vs Elks in the Grey Cup

The 2026 final is the 12th Grey Cup between Montreal and Edmonton. Edmonton leads 8-3, with Montreal's wins in 1974, 1977 and 2002. The full results table, kickoff time and TV details are in our Grey Cup 2026 guide.

Does Grey Cup history help with betting?

Not much. Past titles are fun, but they say nothing about this year's rosters, coaches or rules, and the CFL changed several scoring and overtime rules in 2026. If you bet a futures market on the next champion, compare the price with your own estimate of the implied probability rather than with the trophy count. Our Alouettes and CFL betting guide explains the markets and the 2026 rule changes, and our page on whether sports betting is legal in Quebec covers where Quebec players can bet. Keep it fun: if it stops being fun, see our responsible gambling page.
