After more than two decades as a voice of the Canadian Football League on TSN, legendary quarterback Matt Dunigan won’t be back for the 2025 season. Multiple sources have confirmed to 3DownNation , the end of an era in CFL broadcasting.
Dunigan, 64, has been with TSN since 1999 — except for 2004 when he took a year off to coach the Calgary Stampeders. Over the years he became one of the most recognizable voices in the league, known for his sharp analysis and deep knowledge of the game.
From Gridiron Great to Broadcast Icon
Before he was a TV fixture, Dunigan was a gridiron great. He played 14 seasons in the CFL (1983–1996) with Edmonton, B.C., Toronto, Winnipeg, Birmingham and Hamilton. His stats are mind-boggling: 43,857 passing yards , 303 touchdowns , and three CFL All-Star selections .
He won two Grey Cups and was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2006 — long before he ever picked up a headset.
The Reaction from Fans
When word got out that Dunigan wouldn’t be back on TSN, fans took to social media to express their disappointment.
“One of the last true voices of the CFL,” one fan tweeted. “Going to miss his insight and passion. Hope he stays involved somehow.”
Others wondered what this means for TSN’s CFL coverage and if other veteran analysts might be stepping aside.
What’s Next for the CFL Broadcast?
TSN is still the exclusive Canadian broadcaster of the CFL and will air all 81 regular-season games in 2025. Of those, 19 will also air on CTV . But the network is scaling back its preseason coverage to just two games — both of which will be on CFL+ , the league’s streaming platform.
As for Dunigan, neither he nor TSN have commented yet. We’ll update this story if they do.
