Two leagues, two rulebooks, one set of bet types. The NFL runs 272 games to Super Bowl LXI on February 14, 2027; the CFL crowns its champion at the 113th Grey Cup in Calgary on November 15, 2026. Here is how football markets work and which sportsbooks in our data cover the Canadian game as well as the American one.

Key points

  • NFL 2026: kickoff September 9, 18 weeks, 272 games, Super Bowl LXI February 14, 2027 at SoFi Stadium.
  • CFL 2026: 9 teams, regular season June 4 to October 24, 113th Grey Cup November 15 in Calgary.
  • From 2026 the CFL has no regular-season ties and no single point for a missed field goal that goes wide.
  • A whole-number spread can push; a half-point line cannot.
  • 7 of the books in our data list Canadian football alongside the NFL.

The core football markets

Football betting runs on three lines. Get them straight and both leagues read the same way.

  • Moneyline. Pick the winner outright. Heavy favourites pay little, so most action goes to the spread.
  • Point spread. The favourite gives points, the underdog gets them. A whole-number line can push - stake returned - when the margin lands exactly on it.
  • Totals. Over or under the combined score. Same push rule: a total of 45 and a 24-21 final returns your stake.

Then props (passing yards, touchdowns, first scorer), quarter and half lines, and futures such as the Super Bowl or Grey Cup winner. The moneyline, spread and totals guide walks through each one.

Spread maths: what -110 costs you

Most spreads and totals are priced at -110 on both sides. That price, not the line, is where the book makes its money.

Worked example

Spread
Team A -3.5 at -110, Team B +3.5 at -110
Decimal 1.909 each -> implied 52.38% + 52.38% = 104.76%
Margin = 1 - 1/1.0476 = 4.55%
Stake 110 to win 100 on either side; a coin-flip bettor loses about 4.55% of turnover over time.

Convert any price with the odds converter, and read how to read odds if American odds still look backwards.

NFL 2026: dates that move the board

The season kicked off Wednesday September 9, 2026 with Seattle hosting New England. Eighteen weeks, 272 games, then Super Bowl LXI on February 14, 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. Sunday slates and prime-time games are where books post the most props and same game parlays. Our NFL betting guide goes week by week.

CFL 2026: new rules, new numbers

The Canadian game changed under bettors' feet. The CFL's 2026 phase removed the single point for a missed field goal that sails wide of the posts, and from 2026 a regular-season game can no longer end tied - after a second overtime mini-game, teams alternate two-point converts from the 3-yard line. In 2027 the field shrinks from 110 to 100 yards with 15-yard end zones.

What that means for you (our reading, not the league's): fewer cheap single points push totals down a touch, and three-way markets lose the draw outcome in the regular season. Historical CFL scoring trends are now partly stale. The CFL betting guide has the full rule list.

The 2026 regular season ran June 4 to October 24, division finals were November 7, and the 113th Grey Cup is Sunday November 15 at McMahon Stadium, Calgary.

Stake also publishes in-play refund promos and season-long boosted odds on the NFL. PowerPlay lists the NFL with same game parlays and cash out. Boosted prices are covered under odds boosts, and money-back offers under bet insurance.

Same game parlays and teasers

Football is the home of the same game parlay: quarterback yards plus team win plus over. Legs inside one game are correlated, so books reprice them with their own adjustments - the simple multiply-the-odds formula does not apply, and no book publishes its SGP margin. Standard parlays lose more edge with every leg; check the numbers in the parlay calculator.

Nevada books held 7.29% on football over the 12 months to July 2026, below hockey's 8.73% - see the hockey page for the comparison.

Questions players ask

What is a push on a football spread?

If you take a team at -3 and it wins by exactly 3, the bet is a push and the stake comes back. Half-point lines such as -3.5 cannot push.

Do CFL rule changes affect betting?

They can. From 2026 a missed field goal that goes wide no longer scores a single point, and regular-season games can no longer end tied. Older CFL scoring data reflects the old rules, so treat historical totals with care.

When is the 2026 Grey Cup?

The 113th Grey Cup is on Sunday November 15, 2026 at McMahon Stadium in Calgary, 6 p.m. ET.
