The Canadian Football League is heading East in 2010.

This year's CFL regular season schedule will be released on Monday, but according to various reports the Toronto Argonauts and Edmonton Eskimos will meet in the CFL's first regular season game in Atlantic Canada.

The stadium at the Université de Moncton will play host to the game which will take place on September 26 in Moncton, New Brunswick and officially be known as Touchdown Atlantic.

The last Touchdown Atlantic was held in 2005, when the Argos took on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in a pre-season tilt at Huskies Stadium in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The league planned to return to Atlantic Canada the following year but the game was canceled after the Ottawa Renegades franchise was suspended indefinitely.

Edmonton swept the season series against Toronto during the 2009 campaign, winning 22-19 and 36-10 in Week 16 and Week 18, respectively.
