Preseason

On June 14, 2013, it was announced that the Edmonton Eskimos would host their 2015 preseason game at the new Shell Place in Fort McMurray against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on June 13, 2015. As part of the deal, the game was broadcast nationally on TSN. The game was played here due to scheduling conflicts with the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup at Commonwealth Stadium and to broaden the Eskimos' fanbase. The Eskimos' second pre-season game, against the BC Lions, will also be displaced from the team's usual home stadium due to the Women's World Cup. That game will instead be played at Thunderbird Stadium on the main campus of the University of British Columbia.
