The Edmonton Eskimos released their 2017 schedule Tuesday, and besides the one pre-season game, all of the home games land on Friday and Saturday evenings. That’s right – no more Thursday evening games at Commonwealth Stadium.

The schedule features four battle of Alberta games against the Calgary Stampeders, with three of the tilts being held in Edmonton. The Eskimos will host all seven other teams once.
