The 1986 Calgary Stampeders finished in 4th place in the West Division with a 6–12–0 record. They made the playoffs due to a new rule in which a fourth place team from one division can qualify for the playoffs as long as they earned more points than the third place team from the opposing division. However the Stampeders would remain in the West division throughout the playoffs. They faced division rival Edmonton Eskimos in the West Semi-Finals where they lost 27–18.
