The Saskatchewan Roughriders are coming home as champions. After a stunning victory in the 112th Grey Cup at Winnipeg's Princess Auto Stadium, the team is returning to Regina on Monday to share their triumph with the loyal fans who supported them throughout the season.
Grey Cup Celebration at Mosaic Stadium
The first opportunity for fans to welcome home their champions arrives on Monday afternoon. The team will head directly to Mosaic Stadium at 1:30 p.m. after landing in Regina. Fans are encouraged to gather outside SaskTel Gate 3, located on the stadium's northeast corner, for a special 30-minute program.
This free, public event will feature players and coaches addressing the crowd from the Champions Deck, where they will proudly display the Grey Cup trophy. While the event does not include formal autograph or photo sessions, it offers Rider Nation a chance to collectively celebrate the hard-fought victory. Public parking will be available in all Mosaic Stadium lots for attendees.
Championship Parade Down the Green Mile
The festivities continue on Tuesday with the official Grey Cup championship parade scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.. The team is calling on fans to line the famous Green Mile along Albert Street between 13th and 20th avenues.
In a display of national pride, players and staff will be transported in vehicles driven by the Royal Canadian Armed Forces. The parade will conclude with a formal program on the steps of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building at 3 p.m., featuring speeches from head coach Corey Mace and Grey Cup MVP quarterback Trevor Harris.
Fans should note that parking will not be available directly in front of the legislature and are advised to park in surrounding neighbourhoods and walk to the event. The team's departure is scheduled for 4 p.m., concluding the official celebrations.
A Victory for All of Saskatchewan
This homecoming marks a monumental moment for the province, bringing the coveted Grey Cup back to Rider Nation. The team's 25-17 victory over the Montreal Alouettes in Winnipeg secured their first championship in years, a triumph made sweeter by the opportunity to celebrate with their home community. These events offer a chance for fans to be part of a historic moment in Saskatchewan sports history.
