Men’s Football News

U SPORTS announced Monday the schedule of events for the week leading up to the 55th Vanier Cup presented by Promutuel Insurance.

The Uteck Bowl champion Montréal Carabins (9-2) and Mitchell Bowl champion Calgary Dinos (9-2) will battle for U SPORTS football supremacy on Saturday, Nov. 23,

This year marks the return of CBC as U SPORTS’ English-language broadcast partner for the first time since the 1979 championship game that saw the Acadia Axemen top the Western Mustangs 34-12 to capture their first Vanier Cup title. CBC previously covered the first 15 editions of Canada’s university football championship from 1965 through 1979 when the game was known as the Canadian College Bowl.

Livestreaming of the Vanier Cup will also be available on the free CBC Gem streaming service, CBCSports.ca and the CBC Sports app for iOS and Android devices - offering coverage both domestically and internationally.

TVA Sports continues as the official French-language broadcast partner of the Vanier Cup for the fifth consecutive year. Fans can access the French webcast with a valid subscription via TVASports.ca.
