The Calgary Stampeders appear to be getting new uniforms for the 2026 season.
The team published a video on Tuesday with the tagline, “The next ride. Coming soon.” Though the close-up shots make it difficult to get an overall sense of the new uniforms, the video appears to show a red uniform with white numbers, and a white uniform with red numbers.
Based on these combinations, it seems as though these are new home and away uniforms. A team spokesperson respectfully declined to clarify in correspondence with 3DownNation, presumably to build suspense for the eventual reveal. It’s unclear when the new uniforms will be made public.
The Stampeders most recently changed their uniforms in 2023 with a design that drew influence from the team’s 75th anniversary look, featuring multiple stripes on the shoulder pads.
The most notable change was the removal of black from the colour palette, which was simplified to red and white. Based on the video posted on Tuesday, it appears Calgary is not reintroducing black as part of its new uniforms, sticking to red and white.

The Calgary Stampeders weren’t very active in CFL free agency, though they signed former Toronto Argonauts receiver Dejon Brissett, who set a career-high with 907 receiving yards in 2025. The Stampeders didn’t lose any free agents to other CFL teams but had three players sign in the NFL: receiver Damien Alford (New Orleans Saints), defensive lineman Jaylon Hutchings (Minnesota Vikings), and linebacker Jacob Roberts (Minnesota Vikings).
The Stampeders hold the sixth overall pick in the 2026 CFL Draft, which is scheduled for Tuesday, April 28 at 7:00 p.m. EDT. All CFL training camps are scheduled to open on May 10. Calgary will play its first preseason game against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Monday, May 18 and its first regular-season game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday, June 5.
In 2025, Calgary finished third in the West Division standings with an 11-7 record but lost the West Semi-Final to the B.C. Lions.
