Best Answer

In the Canadian Football League (CFL), the playoffs begin on the weekend following the end of the regular season. There are only five playoff games, two in each division, followed by the Grey Cup Game.

The CFL consists of an East Division and a West Division. The playoffs begin with a semi-final in each division, with the third-place team* visiting the second place team. The first place team in each division gets a bye.

The division final is played on following weekend, with the winner of the semi-final game visiting the first place team.

The Grey Cup Game is played the following weekend between the winners of each division final. The location of the Grey Cup Game is determined by the CFL, and is usually fixed a couple of years in advance.

* If the team that finished fourth in its own division has a better season record than the third-place team in the other division, that fourth-place team replaces the third-place team in the other division's semi-final game, with the potential to play in the Grey Cup Game.
