The CFL has identified the only clinching scenario in play for this week’s action ahead of the 113th Grey Cup. Toronto is in control of its postseason positioning, with the league noting that a Hamilton loss plus a Toronto win would clinch Toronto’s postseason berth and secure the right to host a playoff game. The CFL added that there are no other clinching scenarios entering Week 16.

Toronto’s home path to hosting a playoff game runs through Sunday’s slate, with the CFL listing Edmonton at Toronto for September 19 at 3:00 p.m. ET. The league’s broadcast listings for that game include TSN, RDS, CTV, Crave, CFL+ and SiriusXM.

Elsewhere on Week 16’s schedule, the CFL has Hamilton at home against Montreal on September 18 at 7:30 p.m. ET. That matchup will be carried on TSN, RDS, CBSSN, CFL+ and SiriusXM.

The week also includes Ottawa at Calgary on September 19 at 7:00 p.m. ET, with the CFL listing TSN, CFL+ and SiriusXM as the available broadcast options. In its broader “road to the 113th Grey Cup” update, the league confirmed Montreal secured a postseason berth and the right to host a playoff game in Week 14, Edmonton clinched a postseason berth in Week 15, and Ottawa was eliminated from playoff contention in Week 15.
