Regular Season

With each team having to play 18 games over a 20 week span, one team is forced to play two games in a single week (while on other weeks one team will have a bye week). This year, the unlucky team is the Toronto Argonauts, who play two games in Week 6 of the regular season. The traditional Labour Day Classic is held on Week 11 this year, while Week 16 has the lesser Thanksgiving Day Classic games.

Standings

The standings are up-to-date to the conclusion of Week 18.
