- Full kitchens for game-day snacks and dinners.
- Spacious layouts (1–4 bedroom units) perfect for groups splitting costs.

Map of our Accommodations and the Stadium

When to Book Your Grey Cup 2026 Accommodation
Short answer: as early as possible.
Long answer: Calgary’s major events — Stampede, NHL playoffs, concerts — often see accommodations fill up 6–12 months in advance. The Grey Cup draws a national crowd and creates a city-wide accommodation crunch.
Expect:
- Price increases the closer you get to November.
- Limited availability near the stadium if you wait.
- Best selection early in the year.
If you want the best Airbnb Calgary Grey Cup 2026 options, booking early is the key.
