INFORMATION
Team information can be found immediately after the 'Division History' section.
This division began as the Western Interprovincial Football Union (1936–1960) with BC Lions, Calgary Stampeders, Edmonton Elks, Saskatchewan Roughriders, and Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and despite its teams being members of the CFL since 1958, the then-Western Football Conference remained a distinct legal entity until 1981.
Several now-defunct teams have also played in the West Division including two teams from the United States (Las Vegas Posse & Sacramento Goldminers).
Current West Division team, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have, in the past, spent a number of seasons in the East over three separate stints.
From 1997 to 2016, the fourth place team in the West has taken advantage of the cross-over rule nine times, including four times when there were equal teams in the divisions. However, it was not until 2008 that a West team (Edmonton) advanced to the East Final, and only four other teams (the 2009 BC Lions, 2016 Eskimos, 2017 Saskatchewan Roughriders and 2019 Eskimos) have won a game since. Neither crossover team won more than one playoff game. Since 1997, no team from the East has crossed over into the West playoffs.
