This is a complete list of seasons competed by the Montreal Alouettes, a Canadian Football League team. While the team was founded in 1946, they did not join the CFL until it was founded in 1958. The franchise folded after the 1981 season, but a new team, named the Montreal Concordes took their place in the East Division and inherited the Alouettes' history. That franchise was renamed the Alouettes in 1986 on the 40th anniversary of the inception of the Alouettes franchise. However, the Alouettes folded a day before the 1987 regular season began, signalling a dormant period for the Montreal team.
