This is a list of gridiron football teams in Canada. Renamed from Bronks to Stampeders in 1944. The Baltimore Stallions moved to Montreal after the 1995 season and were renamed the Montreal Alouettes. The new club assumed the history of all past professional clubs in Montreal.

The CFL is the highest level of competition in Canadian football. The league consists of nine teams, each located in a city in Canada. They are divided into two divisions: four teams in the East Division and five teams in the West Division. As of 2024, it features a 21-week regular season in which each team plays 18 games with three bye weeks.

The sport developed from informal games played in North America during the 19th century. Early games had a variety of local rules and were generally similar to modern rugby union and soccer. The earliest recorded instance of gridiron football occurred at University of Toronto's University College in November 1861.

After its suspension, two American teams jumped to the Canadian Football League, though only one (the Sacramento franchise) would play in that league. The United States Football League was the most significant challenger to the NFL since the American Football League, and the last of any significance to date.
