Commonwealth Stadium guide: schedule, kickoff times, food, parking and bag policy

Commonwealth Stadium holds 56,302 fans and is home to Edmonton Elks (CFL). This page covers the stadium's gates, food, parking and bag rules, and adds every home game with its kickoff time once the next schedule is published.

When is the next home game at Commonwealth Stadium?

The Edmonton Elks 2026 CFL season is over, and the 2027 CFL schedule has not been published yet. This page adds every home game with its start time as soon as the schedule is published.

Is there a sun and shade map for Commonwealth Stadium?

Not yet. We have not built a seat model for this stadium. Our sun and shade maps need a recent lidar survey and a section-by-section seating map, so we cover the bigger US stadiums first. We only publish seat and sun data measured from a survey of the stands as they are now, so this guide sticks to the schedule, parking and stadium policies until a newer survey is flown.
