The 1969 BC Lions finished in third place in the Western Conference with a 5–11 record and made the playoffs due to a late season 4 game winning streak.
After taking the club to a 1–9 record, head coach Jim Champion was relieved of his duties, and on September 24, assistant coach Jackie Parker was promoted to head coach. Parker led the club to a 4–2 finish and an unlikely playoff berth. They appeared in the Western Semi-Final, losing to the Calgary Stampeders 35–21.
The offense continued to struggle and managed to score only 22 touchdowns. Jake Scott, MVP of Super Bowl VII, played as a wide receiver. Bruising fullback Jim Evenson had another 1200+ yard season, but again fell second in the rushing race to Saskatchewan's George Reed.
