Sportsnet NOW is the streaming platform of choice for Blue Jays fans, giving them access to all Sportsnet channels, and a whole host of sports, including baseball, soccer, rugby, and out-of-market NHL games.

MLB.TV is a great option for out-of-market games for fans who want to catch the entire MLB schedule. However, Toronto fans should be aware that, as Sportsnet has the rights to any games played in Canada, blackout restrictions will apply for any home Blue Jay games. Therefore, this is only really an option for fans who want to open the doors to the rest of the MLB schedule. Remember to keep an eye on the Live Sports on TV MLB Page for live broadcast information and match times, making sure you always know how to catch the Toronto Blue Jays game tonight.

Home of the Blue Jays

When the franchise started play in 1977, the Blue Jays played in Exhibition Stadium until 1988. When the Rogers Centre – originally called the SkyDome – opened in 1989, the Blue Jays moved in and began playing there.

They remain there today in the first stadium to feature a fully motorized retractable roof. The Rogers Centre can accommodate 49,282 fans for Blue Jays games.

History of the Blue Jays

As noted, the Blue Jays were a power in the late 1980s and early 1990s. After winning the World Series in 1993, Toronto did not return to the postseason until 2015.

The franchise can claim six AL East Division titles: 1985, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, and 2015. The Blue Jays were a MLB wild card in 2016. The only two AL pennants won by the Blue Jays were in ’92 and ’93 the same years Toronto won its only two World Series titles.

With the 17th overall pick in the 1995 draft, the Blue Jays selected the best pitcher in franchise history – the late Roy Halladay. In 2003, Halladay would win 22 games to lead the majors and win the first of his two Cy Young awards. He would go on to win another in 2010 with Philadelphia. While a member of the Blue Jays from 1998 to 2009, Halladay was a six-time (2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, and 2009) All-Star.

Tony Fernandez was drafted by Toronto in 1983 and became the team’s full-time shortstop in 1985. He spent his first eight MLB seasons with the Blue Jays and returned later in his career for a total of 12 seasons with the franchise. Four of his five All-Star game appearances were as a Blue Jay. He won all four of his Gold Glove awards (1986-89) while in Toronto. Fernandez passed away in 2020 from complications related to his kidney disease.

Roberto Alomar spent just five seasons in Toronto, but they were five of his best. A 12-time All-Star, Alomar is considered one of the greatest second basemen in MLB history. He was an All-Star in each of his five Blue Jays’ seasons and also won five of his ten Gold Gloves while in Toronto. He is tops among all Blue Jays in career batting average (.307).
