GUELPH, Ont. – For a fifth consecutive season, the Toronto Argonauts will call the University of Guelph home for training camp as well as a preseason matchup. On Friday, May 30, 2025, the University of Guelph's Alumni Stadium will once again serve as the host venue for a CFL preseason matchup as the Toronto Argonauts host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Kickoff is set for 7pm with tickets now on sale to the general public at
gryphons.ca/tickets.
In addition to hosting the May 30 preseason game, the University of Guelph's Alumni Stadium will also serve as the home of the Toronto Argonauts for the team's 2025 training camp, which runs from the middle of May until the team's final preseason game on May 30. The Argos, who enter the 2025 CFL season as the
reigning Grey Cup champions, have now held their training camp at the University of Guelph on six separate occasions within the past 10 years (2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 & 2016).
"It is a privilege to be able to welcome the Grey Cup champion Argos to our U of G campus," says
Scott McRoberts, Director of Athletics at the University of Guelph. "We are proud of the work that has been done during our ongoing partnership with the Argos and look forward to continuing to build on that in the future. And of course, we cannot wait for the game on May 30, as our local Guelph community, as well as Argos and Ticats fans, once again get the opportunity to watch CFL action at one of the best collegiate facilities in the country."
