2026 Season Premiere

from Xs and Argos Podcast · host Ben Grant

Ben Grant and JB officially kick off the 2026 season as the Toronto Argonauts open training camp and prepare for their preseason opener Saturday afternoon in Hamilton. This week's episode takes a deep dive into the early storylines shaping camp, including several surprising roster decisions as the Argos begin trimming down to build their 2026 team. The guys discuss notable cuts including Jarret Doege, Spencer Brown, and Josh Donovan, while also looking at which positions remain wide open, and which jobs already appear locked down. The guys also break down Toronto's annual Double Blue Game, discussing what can and can't be learned from an intersquad scrimmage. Which players stood out? Which positions are difficult to evaluate without true game conditions? And which new faces could push their way into meaningful roles this season? Plus, the guys get you set for Toronto's preseason opener against Hamilton with early thoughts on what to watch for as the Argos begin their journey toward another Grey Cup run. Ben also gives a shoutout to Football Ontario, Football Canada, and Queen's University for hosting Elite Flag Nationals, and the CFL for getting their logo and branding in front of 750 elite Canadian youth athletes. Training camp is underway. Football is back. And the road to 2026 starts now.
