An upbeat, high-energy event designed to give young athletes a taste of the CFL scouting experience while focusing on athletic development and fun. Instead of high-stakes pressure, these events are about building confidence, learning proper technique, and seeing how they stack up in drills that test speed, agility, and power. The day is typically broken down into specific “stations” where kids rotate through classic football measurements: The 40-Yard Dash, The Broad Jump, Vertical Leap, 3-Cone Drill, 20-Yard Shuttle.

Every year, our Play with the Pros clinics host hundreds of kids ages 6 to 13 and matches them with some of their favourite BC Lions players. Through our fun, hands-on activities, kids get an opportunity to participate in a non-contact skills clinic hosted by pro players. The participants are divided into groups and rotate through various skill stations every 10-15 minutes. Several BC Lions players are assigned to each of the stations, teaching skills such as agility, passing, receiving, blocking, and tackling.

 

It’s time to take your football skills to the next level. We are inviting girls and women (ages 12 and up) of all experience levels to take part in an evening of drills and scrimmaging with the best of the best. Led by a dynamic team of seasoned professional football players, our program is about more than just touchdowns – it’s about fostering confidence, camaraderie, and skill development.

Why are the BC Lions playing in Kelowna?

With Vancouver hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup, BC Place will be at the centre of the action and unavailable for part of our season. To keep our schedule moving and bring CFL football to a new community, the Lions will play two regular season games at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl. Touchdown Kelowna is both a practical solution and an exciting opportunity to showcase our game in the Okanagan during this historic moment for British Columbia.

Is this a neutral-site game like Touchdown Atlantic?

No. Unlike Touchdown Atlantic, these are official BC Lions home games. Everything our fans love about the roar of a Lions game will be on full display in Kelowna.

How can I get tickets?

With limited capacity in Kelowna, your best opportunity to attend these games will be as a 2026 Season Ticket Holder, who will receive priority pre-sale access well before the general public. 2026 season tickets are on sale now. To review your options, click HERE.

Are Touchdown Kelowna tickets included in my Season Ticket Holder package?

No. Only the Regular Season home games at BC Place are included in your season ticket package. We wanted to ensure only those STHs who could attend the games in Kelowna had guaranteed access to tickets to the Apple Bowl. For that reason, we chose to provide the 7 home games at BC Place within the Season Ticket Holder package and allow a guaranteed option to choose your seats in Kelowna if you choose.

How will I be able to purchase tickets for the Touchdown Kelowna games?

2026 BC Lions Season Ticket Holders in good standing will be given a priority presale window based upon their tenure as a Season Ticket Holder. The pre-sale begins on Tuesday, February 3rd and you will be able to go online and purchase up to 8 tickets for each of the Kelowna games through your My Lions Account. Any remaining inventory will go on sale to the general public on Thursday, February 26th.

What’s included in the Premium seating options? (Fieldhouse & Premium Sideline)

  • All-inclusive food and beverage throughout the game, including beer and wine
  • Exclusive premium gate entrance
  • A mixture of shaded and covered seating areas
  • Access to purchase on-site VIP parking

What if I want to bring a group of more than 8 tickets?

We anticipate high demand for these games and are limiting our group ticket offerings, but if you are interested in more information on groups for the Touchdown Kelowna games, please contact your Account Executive (information below).

Will there be accommodation opportunities available in Kelowna for traveling fans?

Kelowna and the entire Okanagan region have multiple accommodation options for our traveling fans, and we encourage all fans interested in attending these games to book accommodations as soon as possible.

Will there be other festivities in Kelowna outside of game days?

Our Kelowna festival schedule will feature something every day of the week between our games, including live concerts, Okanagan food and beverage experiences, and family-friendly football experiences, all taking place lakeside. This is in addition to the City of Kelowna’s epic Canada Day celebration taking place on July 1st. You won’t want to miss all the excitement throughout the week.
