The original CFL 1987 regular season schedule, published below, was released March 4th, 1987. It was not completed as published as the Montreal Alouettes abruptly ceased operations June 23rd, 1987 after the pre-season schedule and days before their first regular season game. The schedule had to be redone for an eight team league. The result, though one game had already be played, was a less-than-ideal 18-week schedule with no byes compared to the 20-week original schedule.

The original 1987 schedule is an interesting artifact in that it was the league's second attempt at an 18-game schedule. Many of the problems with an 18-game/20-week schedule were more prevalent in that early attempt than similar recent schedules before the league adopted the 21-week schedule in 2018.
