The Saskatchewan Roughriders , along with the CFL, have announced that the Saskatchewan Grey Cup and Grey Cup Festival scheduled for November 22 will not happen.

Instead, the event will happen in 2022.

Now, if the 108th Grey Cup is played, the host will be determined by a "win and host" model. The team that qualifies for the Grey Cup and has a superior regular season record to its' opponent, will host the Grey Cup game.

This gives all nine CFL teams a shot at hosting the Grey Cup game.

Grey Cup Festival Co-Chair and Saskatchewan Roughrider President, Craig Reynolds, said in a release that COVID -19 continues to cause uncertainty across the world and the ability to host the 2020 Grey  Cup to the scope and scale that fans expect had becomes less likely. Pair that, he said, with the need to allow for as much time as possible to have a 2020 season, they knew this was the right decision for the CFL, for the club and for their fans.

Grey Cup Festival Co-Chair and Saskatchewan Roughrider Board Chair, Randy Beattie, said in the same release that more than 100 volunteers worked alongside Roughrider employees over the last year to make the 2020 Grey Cup Festival the best one yet. Unfortunately, with all those plans they never could have anticipated the pandemic. He adds they are, nonetheless, so thankful for all the hard work and dedication that went into the Festival, which laid the groundwork for a successful event in 2022.
