The
BC Lions
are a professional
Canadian football
team based in
Vancouver, British Columbia
. The Lions compete in the
West Division
of the
Canadian Football League
(CFL), and play their home games at
BC Place
.
The Lions played their first season in
1954
, and have played every season since. As such, they are the oldest professional sports franchise in the city of Vancouver and in the province of British Columbia. They have appeared in the league's
Grey Cup
championship game 10 times, winning six of those games, with their most recent championship occurring in
2011
.
The Lions were the first
Western Canadian
team to have won the
Grey Cup
at home, having done so in
1994
and
2011
, before
Saskatchewan
won in
2013
, while also becoming the only team to beat an
American-based
franchise
in a championship game, a feat accomplished in 1994. The Lions hold the second longest playoff streak in CFL history, making the playoffs every season from the
1997 CFL season
to the
2016 CFL season
, failing to make the playoffs for the first time in over 20 seasons in 2017 (only the Edmonton Eskimos have had a longer playoff streak; theirs lasted for 34 seasons from 1972 to 2005).
With the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Grey Cup win in 2019 after a 29-year wait, the Lions currently have the longest Grey Cup drought of the West Division teams, last winning in 2011.
