112th Grey Cup

The 112th Grey Cup was played between the East Division champion Montreal Alouettes and the West Division champion Saskatchewan Roughriders to decide the Canadian Football League (CFL) championship for the 2025 season. The game was played on November 16, 2025, at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg, Manitoba, making it the fifth time that Winnipeg has hosted the Grey Cup, with the previous being in 2015. The Roughriders defeated the Alouettes 25–17 to win their fifth Grey Cup and first since 2013.

The game was nationally televised in Canada on CTV, TSN, and RDS; in the United States on CBS Sports Network; and internationally on CFL+.

In October 2022, it was reported that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers were bidding to host either the 2024 or 2025 Grey Cup game, with the Manitoba government offering to contribute up to $5.5 million for the bid. After the 2024 Grey Cup was awarded to the city of Vancouver and the BC Lions, it was later reported on March 3, 2023, that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers had won the right to host the 2025 Grey Cup. On March 14, 2023, it was officially announced that Winnipeg would be the host of this game. On November 4, 2025, the game was announced as a sell-out.

The date for this game was not initially announced and, as per the collective bargaining agreement, the league had the option of moving the start of the season up to 30 days. However, the league revealed on August 16, 2024, that this game would be played on the third Sunday of November for the fourth consecutive season, on November 16, 2025. This tied the 85th Grey Cup and 91st Grey Cup games as the earliest to be played in a calendar year.

Canadian rock band Our Lady Peace performed the SiriusXM Kickoff show. American singer MGK performed the Bud Light halftime show and local Métis country singer Catie St. Germain (granddaughter of Ray St. Germain) performed "O Canada". MGK performed the following songs: "Starman", "Don't Wait Run Fast", "Bloody Valentine", "Lonely Road", "My Ex's Best Friend", "Vampire Diaries", and "Cliché".

The game featured the Montreal Alouettes, playing in their 20th Grey Cup game, and their second in three years, and the Saskatchewan Roughriders, who were also playing in their 20th Grey Cup game but their first since 2013. The Alouettes were attempting to win their ninth championship while the Roughriders attempted to win their fifth.

The Alouettes finished in second place in the East Division with a 10–8 record and qualified for the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year. Prior to the season, the Alouettes decided to move on from 110th Grey Cup MVP Cody Fajardo and anoint Davis Alexander as the team's starting quarterback for this season after he showed promise with a 4–0 record as a starter in 2024. Alexander rewarded the team's faith in him by leading the team to a 3–0 start to the season before suffering a hamstring injury that forced him to miss the following two games which were both losses. He returned after the team's bye week to face the Toronto Argonauts, but re-injured his hamstring on a touchdown run in the week 7 victory. Backup quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson started three games before also suffering an injury which led to the Alouettes starting Caleb Evans, who was injured in his start, and then fourth-stringer James Morgan who started two games amidst a five-game losing streak. With the Alouettes sitting at a 5–7 record, Bethel-Thompson returned from injury and led the team to two victories, including one against the Roughriders. Alexander then also returned from injury and won his three starts, finishing the regular season with a 7–0 record as a starter and setting a CFL record for most consecutive regular season wins to start a career with 11. Tyler Snead finished as the team's leading receiver with 1,129 yards and Darnell Sankey led the team in defensive tackles with 101. Placekicker José Carlos Maltos set a franchise record with 58 field goals in one season, which was also tied for the third-most in CFL history.

In the East Semi-Final, the Alouettes faced the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who had been West Division champions in the previous five seasons. The Alouettes had a 19-point lead at halftime, but the Blue Bombers scored 21 straight points to make the game competitive. The Alouettes re-took the lead on a Stevie Scott touchdown, who finished the game with 18 carries for 133 yards to make the score 32–27 before Scott scored again after a Blue Bombers field goal to make the score 39–30. After exchanging field goals, the Alouettes' defence held strong to help the team to a 42–33 win. Alexander completed 24 of 34 pass attempts for 384 yards with one touchdown pass, one interception, and one touchdown run. In the East Final against the host Hamilton Tiger-Cats, the Alouettes engaged in a much more defensive contest with the teams scoring a few field goals and the Alouettes leading 6–3 at the half. With the teams locked at 16–16 with under two minutes left to play, Alexander drove the team down the field, highlighted by a Charleston Rambo 19-yard catch on second down, to set up a Maltos 45-yard field goal on the last play of the game, winning 19–16. Maltos was successful on all four of his field goal attempts and Sankey led the team with 10 defensive tackles.
