Alouettes schedule 2026: stretch run and playoffs

The final East ranking sets the playoff path. Each division winner gets a bye straight to a home division final. Second place hosts third in the semi-final. If a division's fourth-place team has more points than the other division's third-place team, it takes that spot: the crossover.

The team this season

Leadership: Jason Maas is head coach (4th season) and Danny Maciocia general manager.
Quarterback: Davis Alexander, extended through 2028 in December 2025. A hamstring injury held him to seven regular-season games in 2025; without him the team went 3-8.
Offseason additions: QB Dustin Crum (Ottawa), receiver Jerreth Sterns (Winnipeg) and linebacker Micah Awe (BC).
Departures: safety Marc-Antoine Dequoy (retired), linebacker Darnell Sankey (BC), receivers Austin Mack (Edmonton) and Charleston Rambo.
Players to watch: receiver Tyson Philpot, running back Stevie Scott (108 rushing yards at Hamilton on September 18, 2026), kicker José Maltos Díaz, and Tyler Snead, who left that same game with a knee injury: check his status.

What moves Montreal Alouettes odds

Davis Alexander's health: in 2025 the offence fell from about 33 to 19 points per game without him, per TSN. His is the first name to look for on the injury report.
Late-season games: once the standings are settled, a coach may rest starters. Read the announced lineups before the October 17 and October 23, 2026 games.
The trip west: Regina is two hours behind Montreal in October, and the October 17, 2026 game is scheduled for the afternoon.
Fall weather: Percival Molson and Mosaic are open-air. Wind and cold affect deep passes and kicks, and so totals.
2026 rules: no more single point (rouge) for a missed field goal that goes wide or a kick that goes through the end zone untouched, and an automatic 35-second play clock replaces the 20-second one. Pre-2026 totals compare less cleanly.
East matchups: 7-0 against the East this season, and Alexander 15-0 in East Division games, per TSN as of September 18, 2026. Past records guarantee nothing, but they shape the line.

Alouettes markets worth a look

East Division and Grey Cup futures: the price is locked when you bet; it moves with the standings and injuries.
Player props: Alexander passing yards, Stevie Scott rushing yards, Tyson Philpot receptions, kicker field goals. Availability varies by operator.
Live betting: CFL leads swing fast. On September 18, 2026, Montreal led 24-3 at halftime in Hamilton before allowing 22 straight fourth-quarter points.
