Kilam is 20-16 over two seasons and led Edmonton to its first playoff berth since 2019, the team said.
- On Wednesday, the Edmonton Elks extended head coach Mark Kilam's contract through the 2029 CFL season after he guided the club to its best regular-season record in more than a decade.
- Kilam, hired in December 2024 as the 25th head coach in franchise history, transformed Edmonton from a 7-11 finish in 2025 to a West Division-best 13-5 record this season.
- "Mark has done an outstanding job coaching this football team," said Ed Hervey, Elks vice-president of football operations and general manager, crediting his discipline and leadership.
- Hosting a playoff game for the first time since 2015, the Elks clinched their first playoff berth since 2019 and will compete in the West Division final on Nov. 7.
- Kilam's 8-1 mark at Commonwealth Stadium contributes to the club's best home and regular-season records since the 2015 Grey Cup season, positioning Edmonton for postseason momentum.
