Season of Canadian Football League team the Hamilton Tiger-Cats

The Tiger-Cats finished in second place in the East Division and finished with a 7–11 record. The Tiger-Cats qualified for the playoffs for the fourth straight season, including their fourth straight season hosting a playoff game, but lost in the East Semi-Final to the Edmonton Eskimos 24–21.
