5 Reasons to Come | Home Opener presented by TD

A new Ottawa REDBLACKS season is underway, and there’s more than just football to get excited about at TD Place. From bold new additions on the field to can’t-miss game day experiences off of it, the 2025 campaign promises high energy, exciting talent, and a strong sense of community. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just here for the atmosphere, here are five things REDBLACKS fans can look forward to tonight at our home opener presented by TD. Kick-off | 7:30PM
1. On a mission
There’s unfinished business in the capital. The REDBLACKS return home this week determined to notch their first win of the season and do it in front of their fans. After falling to Saskatchewan last week, Ottawa is locked in on a big divisional win against their rivals, the Montreal Alouettes. With last season’s dominant 7-1-1 home record as proof of what’s possible, the REDBLACKS are ready to make a statement, and they’ll need your support to do it.
2. New faces, big milestones
Fresh talent is suiting up for the REDBLACKS this season. In the offseason, the team added major playmakers with the arrival of three-time All-CFL wide receiver Geno Lewis and powerful running back William Stanback. Fans will have their first chance to see these CFL standouts in action in REDBLACKS colours, as Stanback closes in on 5,000 career rushing yards, while Lewis will play his 100th CFL game and aims to tie a CFL record in posting his tenth consecutive game with a touchdown.
3. Logger Lager: a new look
Back by popular demand and now sporting a bold new design, the REDBLACKS’ custom brew is back. Logger Lager will be available exclusively at TD Place and will be served all season long. Perfect for game day cheers, it’s a must-try for both loyal fans and first-timers alike.
4. Sip for a cause with ‘Pour It Forward’
This year, every sip of Logger Lager can help make a difference. In partnership with Levy and the OSEG Foundation, the REDBLACKS are introducing Pour It Forward. It is a charitable initiative that lets fans round up their drink purchases to the nearest dollar, with every extra cent going directly to support youth programs through the OSEG Foundation.
