Fans of the Saskatchewan Roughriders will have 10 different themed home games to attend during the 2024 CFL season.

Craig Reynolds, the team’s president and CEO, said the excitement is already building for the upcoming season.

“We spent the off-season building a football team you will be proud of alongside a can’t-miss in-stadium experience for every single home game,” Reynolds said in a statement. “We can’t wait to welcome Rider Nation back to Mosaic Stadium.”

The theme games kick off with Community Culture Night during the pre-season contest on May 20, followed by the Salute to the Canadian Armed Forces during the home opener on June 23.

The Riders will be taking a page out of Taylor Swift’s book during the Throwback Thursday game on July 4, which has been dubbed “ERAS (Riders’ Version)” and will celebrate the different eras of the Green and White.

The Labour Day Classic is set for Sept. 1 this year, with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers visiting Saskatchewan for the classic rivalry game that’s always a big draw.

Truth and Reconciliation will take centre stage at the kisiskaciwan Game on Sept. 28, when players will don orange jerseys ahead of kickoff “symbolizing our recognition and respect for the Indigenous culture within our community.”

Legends Night will celebrate the greats of Rider football on Oct. 12, and the year’s theme games conclude on Oct. 26 with Fan Appreciation, dubbed “Trick Plays & Treats” to help mark Halloween. Fans are encouraged to come to the game in costume.

Season tickets for the 2024 season are still available, the team noted, and Family Pack tickets go on sale starting May 1.
