Standings questions
How are points earned in the CFL standings?
Two points for a win, one for a tie and none for a loss. Teams play 18 games, so 36 points is the maximum.
Why is the West usually stronger?
There is no structural reason; it varies by era. The crossover rule exists so a good fourth-place team in either division is not shut out by geography.
What does the form column show?
The last five results in order, oldest to newest. Streaks count consecutive results of the same kind.
What is net points?
Points scored minus points allowed across the season. It is a tiebreaker and a good measure of how strong a team is beyond its record.
How many bye weeks does each team get?
Three. The 18 games are spread over 21 weeks, so a team's games-played total can lag behind others on any given weekend.
These CFL standings 2026 are sorted with the league's own tiebreakers, so a tie on points is broken the way the CFL would break it, not just by record.
