The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will host CFL Week in 2018.

The week-long event was first held in Regina in March of 2017.

It involved appearances by many CFL players, coaches and executives from across the league, a fan festival, the CFL scouting combine and the CFL Hall of Fame induction announcement.

CFL senior vice-president of content and marketing Christina Litz and Blue Bombers CEO Wade Miller will formally make the announcement prior to the Banjo Bowl at Investors Group Field on Saturday.

Exact dates and locations for the events will be announced at that time.

Blue Bombers Matt Nichols, Andrew Harris, Weston Dressler, Taylor Loffler and Jamaal Westerman were among the almost 60 players who took part in CFL Week last March and the events were well attended by fans at Regina’s Evraz Place.
