Week 8 started off in Calgary, as the Stampeders hosted the Montréal Alouettes in a battle of teams on strong starts. The Stamps entered the fourth with a lead, but the Als took it, 23-21, as they attempt to keep pace with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the Eastern Division.

When the American Athletic Conference rebranded as simply the American Conference on July 21, 2025, it wasn’t just a cosmetic change. Alongside a new logo and the slogan “Built to Rise,” the conference unveiled Soar the Eagle—a bold, brawny, animated mascot designed to soar across social media, sponsor campaigns, and kids’ reading programs alike. With a muscular chest, a feathered cape, and a multi-platform rollout strategy, Soar is more than a mascot—he’s a brand ambassador, social influencer, and potential video game character.
