BC Lions Head to Riderville for a Spectacular Week 21 Showdown
Tonight, the BC Lions are visiting the Saskatchewan Roughriders in what promises to be an electrifying Week 21 matchup of the 2025 CFL season. Kickoff is set for 7:00 PM Eastern, with international and U.S. viewers tuning in via CFL+, while Canadian fans can catch all the action on TSN. But this isn’t just another game—it’s a full-blown celebration at Mosaic Stadium, with the theme “Welcome to Fabulous Riderville!” setting the tone for a Las Vegas-style football experience.
The atmosphere in Riderville is expected to be electric. Confederation Park will kick off festivities at 2 p.m., featuring a Coors Light Party complete with an Elvis Presley look-a-like contest. Elvis himself, through tribute artist Rory Allen, will even perform the national anthem just before kickoff. Fans entering the stadium will be greeted with a slew of scratch-and-win prizes, ranging from season tickets to playoff passes for the upcoming Western Final, as well as Rider Store discounts and other exciting giveaways for the first 5,000 attendees.

On the field, all eyes are on Trevor Harris, the Roughriders’ star quarterback. Harris, now 39, continues to defy expectations and has cemented his place in CFL history. He is only the second player of that age to be named Saskatchewan’s Most Outstanding Player, joining the legendary Ron Lancaster. Harris’ career is remarkable not only for its longevity but for his consistent excellence, having won MOP honors with four different teams. As he puts it, age is just a number, and his training and dedication have allowed him to maintain peak performance and keep elevating his game. His presence alone adds an unmatched energy to the team and the stadium.
Tonight also has unique connections to baseball fans, particularly Toronto Blue Jays followers. Saskatchewan has shared some historic Grey Cup moments in Toronto, and the Roughriders’ legacy has often intersected with memorable Blue Jays victories. From championship celebrations at Rogers Centre to notable CFL shootouts like the 1993 clash between Calgary and Saskatchewan, there’s plenty of history that enriches the experience for long-time sports enthusiasts.
Beyond the action on the field, the event promises plenty of entertainment and spectacle. The Harvard Media Rider Cheer Team will perform in showgirl-inspired uniforms at halftime during the annual Capital PICK6 contest, where the winner will walk away with one of six brand-new vehicles. And as Karina Peterson, the Roughriders’ Manager of Game Entertainment and Community, highlighted, the goal is simple: to create a playful, party-like atmosphere where fans can enjoy the thrill of football combined with unforgettable festivities.
So, whether you’re a die-hard CFL fan or simply looking to enjoy a night of fun and excitement, Mosaic Stadium tonight is the place to be. The BC Lions are in town, but in Riderville, it’s clear that everyone will be part of a celebration that extends well beyond the gridiron. It’s football, history, and entertainment all rolled into one unforgettable evening.
