(Langford, B.C.) – On Thursday, February 6, 2025, the City of Langford, in partnership with the BC Lions, announced a pre-season game against the Calgary Stampeders. The game is scheduled for Monday, May 19, 2025, at Starlight Stadium. This announcement follows the successful Touchdown Pacific event in Victoria last summer, during which the BC Lions had the opportunity to practice on the turf at Starlight Stadium.
“It’s a major milestone for our owner Amar Doman and the entire organization to stage a game in Langford,” says Lions’ president Duane Vienneau. “Vancouver Island boasts a very passionate segment of our fan base. Last year’s Touchdown Pacific in Victoria served as a great reminder at our far-reaching Lions fans are across our great province.”
“The City is thrilled to announce this game and looks forward to welcoming the BC Lions, the Calgary Stampeders, and their dedicated fans to Starlight Stadium,” stated Langford Mayor, Scott Goodmanson. “We recognise that large sporting events such as this not only bring significant exposure to Langford but also contribute substantially to the local economy. This event also provides a unique opportunity for residents, particularly youth, to witness professional sports right here in their own city.”
Game day at Starlight Stadium will also include a fun line-up of pre-game fan activities including live music, food trucks, and a variety of family activities, and games.
A general public ticket sale will begin on Tuesday, March 11 available through Ticketmaster.
