Football fans on Vancouver Island will want to set a reminder, as tickets for the BC Lions pre-season game in Langford go on sale to the general public Tuesday morning.
Single-game tickets become available at 10 a.m. for the highly anticipated matchup against the Edmonton Elks, set for Saturday, May 23rd at Starlight Stadium.
Following last year’s demand, which saw tickets sell out within minutes, fans are encouraged to act quickly to secure their seats for the team’s first live game action of the 2026 season.
The excitement begins the night before, with a kickoff party taking place on Friday, May 22nd at Starlight Stadium.

The event will feature live music from Victoria acts Born Reckless and Jaxxee, along with a DJ, outdoor games and opportunities for fans to meet Lions players and grab autographs.
Fans who purchase tickets to Saturday’s game can also add access to the Friday night celebration for $15.
For those looking to guarantee their spot before tickets open to the public, 2026 season ticket packages remain available.
The game is being held in Langford as BC Place is expected to be unavailable for portions of the season due to preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Starlight Stadium will be temporarily adapted to meet CFL requirements, with capacity set at approximately 6,100 spectators.
