Go Inside the Huddle: Grey Cup All-Access Returns to YouTube 🏈
Sports fans want so much more than just the final score. They want to connect with their favourite players, watch the grit and determination at practice, and the human stories behind championship rings.
Ahead of the 113th Grey Cup, we’re excited to announce that the CFL’s docuseries Grey Cup All-Access is returning for its second season on the official CFL YouTube channel.
Grey Cup All-Access is an intimate, behind-the-scenes episodic series that follows the last two teams during the most intense week of their careers. 2026 focuses on the Montreal Alouettes and the Edmonton Elks with the CFL bringing all the action to fans on YouTube almost as fast as it happens. Episodes will capture meeting rooms, locker rooms, and the excitement on and off the field, before being produced and edited in real time during Grey Cup weekend.
We are incredibly excited to bring this series back for a second season, and for its future as part of our new partnership with YouTube. The response to the series last season reinforced what we are seeing across the sports landscape: fans develop deeper connections to athletes and teams when they are given authentic access to the people behind the competition. - Craig Garvie, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer, Canadian Football League
Episode 1 (November 13): Sets the stage for the series, exploring the dramatic storylines connecting the two teams and introducing the key characters who will shape the week, both on and off the field.
Episode 2 (November 14): Continues to follow the evolving storylines throughout Grey Cup week, offering a deeper look into the players, their families, and the people closest to them. As anticipation builds, the episode sets the stage for the ultimate showdown, leading into final preparations and game day.
Episode 3 (November 17): The culmination of the journey. An unprecedented, all-access look at the biggest day of the season, from the emotion and anticipation of pre-game preparations to the intensity of the game itself, the pivotal moments on the field, and the raw emotion inside the locker room. Win or lose, experience the unfiltered reactions, celebrations, and heartbreak that follow the final whistle.
Canadian sports fans are looking for more than just highlights. They want a front-row seat to the passion, preparation, and human stories that define championship moments. Series like Grey Cup All-Access prove that when you give fans authentic, unscripted access to their favourite athletes, it transforms passive viewers into lifelong supporters. We can’t wait to bring more of this deep, fan engagement to fans as part of our CFL partnership in 2027. - Nicole Bell, Head of YouTube Canada
