How do Grey Cup squares work?
Grey Cup squares use a grid with one team across the top and the other down the side. Players take squares, and the numbers 0 to 9 are drawn at random for each team. At the end of each quarter, the last digit of each team’s score picks the winning square.

When is the Grey Cup?
The 113th Grey Cup is on Sunday, November 15, 2026 at McMahon Stadium in Calgary. The 114th Grey Cup is on Sunday, November 7, 2027 at Mosaic Stadium in Regina. The game decides the champion of the Canadian Football League and is played each November.
Is a CFL squares grid different from an NFL grid?
No. The grid and the rules are the same, and a CFL game also has 4 quarters, so there are 4 winners. One thing differs in the scoring. The CFL has a single point, called a rouge, so a score can change by 1 and end in digits that are rare in the NFL.
How do you run a Grey Cup pool with squares?
Choose a grid size that your group can fill, share the grid and let people take squares. When every square is taken, draw the numbers where everyone can see. Name a winner at the end of each quarter. One person should act as host and write the rules under the grid.
| Players | Grid | Squares each |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 10 | 25 squares | 2 to 5 |
| 10 to 25 | 50 squares | 2 to 5 |
| More than 25 | 100 squares | 1 to 4 |
