Ottawa Renegades joined as the 9th CFL team, after the previous Ottawa Rough Riders folded following the 1996 CFL Season.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers returned to the West Division.

On November 20, four days before the 2002 Grey Cup game, the CFL unveiled a new logo: a red football (with white laces and circles at both ends) located in front of a maple leaf, also red, with black CFL lettering located beneath. It replaced the "helmet" logo that had been in use since 1969. This logo was used until 2015.
