[35] [36] In the Grey Cup, the Redblacks won the franchise's first championship—and the first for an Ottawa-based team in 40 years—by defeating the heavily favored Calgary Stampeders 39–33 in only the third Grey Cup game in history to go into overtime.

The Redblacks' victory ended a 40-year-long championship drought for the city of Ottawa, dating back to the last championship of the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1976.

Toronto is the city with the most wins, 25, followed by Hamilton (15), Edmonton (14), Winnipeg (12), Ottawa (10), Montreal (10), Calgary (8), Vancouver (6), Regina (4), Kingston (3), Sarnia (2) and Baltimore (1).

Jay Roberts scored Ottawa’s first touchdown on an 11-yard run and Ronnie Stewart scampered 80 yards for another TD in the second quarter to give Ottawa a 14-9 lead at the half.

First awarded in 1909, there have since been 100 Grey Cup championship games, although there was no Grey Cup game from 1916 to 1919 or 2020. Numbers in brackets indicate the total number of Grey Cup team wins.
