CFL Rest Advantage 2026 Season

2025 Season Results.  SU: 17-12-0 / ATS 17-12-0 / 29 total games!

Those results included every game that had at least 2 days of rest advantage, over their opponent, visitor or home team, up to 11 days of rest.

This 2026 season, I am looking at teams with at least 6 or more full days of rest advantage, up to 9 full days.  9 is the most days of rest advantage any CFL team will have over its opponent, in 2026.  21 weeks total.

The first 7 weeks of the 2026 season will have 5 games with 6 or more days of rest advantage over their opponent.  

The home teams will hold, the rest advantage, over the visiting teams for all 5 games.

Week 3 : TOR@OTT = 7/13 so 6 days of rest advantage for OTT.  MTL@EDM = 7/13 so 6 days of rest advantage for EDM.  SSK@CGY = 6/14 so 8 days of rest advantage for EDM.

Week 4 : EDM@WPG = 4/13 so 9 days of rest advantage for WPG.

Week 5 : WPG@HAM = 9/15 so 6 days of rest advantage for HAM. 

Only 6 games qualify for weeks 8 thru 14.  6 games qualify for weeks 15 thru 21.

For the entire 2026 season...  (#) means the number of games that qualify that week.

6 day advantage : 5 games total.  Week 3 (2), Week 5 (1), Week 12 (1), Week 19 (1).

7 day advantage : 5 games total.  Week 9 (1), Week 10 (1), Week 17 (1), Week 18 (1), Week 21 (1).

8 day advantage : 5 games total.  Week 3 (1), Week 11 (1), Week 14, (1), Week 15 (1), Week 20 (1). 

9 day advantage : 2 games total.  Week 4 (1), Week 13, (1).

We are 103 days away from the start of the CFL regular season.  Tons more work to do before then!
