It has been 406 days since Redblacks fans last saw a win at TD Place. And they may have to wait a lot longer if the 0-16 Redblacks can’t snap a 22-game losing streak tonight when they host the Argonauts in their last home game of the season. Ottawa hasn’t won a game since Sept. 5, 2025, which also marked the last time they won at home. The CFL on TSN panel sets up the action.
