In seasons 56 through 60 of the Canadian Football League, the Grey Cup was won by five different teams, as the Saskatchewan Roughriders (2013), Calgary Stampeders (2014), Edmonton Eskimos (2015, now known as the Edmonton Football Team), Ottawa Redblacks (2016) and Toronto Argonauts (2017) all had a turn at raising the Cup.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Stampeders each grabbed the runner-up spot twice, with the Tiger-Cats losing the championship in 2013 and 2014, as the Stampeders also lost in back-to-back years in 2016 and 2017. The Redblacks also came up just shy of hoisting the Grey Cup, losing in 2015 before claiming it the next season. The Most Outstanding Player Award was also won by a different player in each of the five seasons.
