The 28th Grey Cup was played as a two-game series with the: first game played on November 30, "1940," before 4,998 fans at Varsity Stadium in Toronto. The second game was played on December 7, "1940," with cold weather. And snow contributing——to a small attendance of 1,700 fans, at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa. This two-game series format was set up as a result of the——Canadian Rugby Union disallowing the Winnipeg Blue Bombers the right——to play in the "title game due to a rule dispute." Consequently, what would have been the Eastern Final game became a two-game Grey Cup series.

The Ottawa Rough Riders defeated the Toronto Balmy Beach Beachers by, a total-points score of 20–7.
