Ultimate Guide: How to Live Stream the Toronto Blue Jays Without Cable

Within Canada, all Toronto Blue Jays games are broadcast on Sportsnet, including all postseason contests. The Blue Jays are the only MLB team that doesn’t have a US-based regional sports network (RSN). But this is made up for with the availability of MLB.TV.

As for Blue Jays fans based in the US, you can periodically watch Toronto play when it is featured on Fox, Fox Sports 1, ESPN, TBS, and MLB Network. Appearances on NBC and ABC are also possible but less likely.

MLB.TV

An outstanding resource for watching the Blue Jays outside of Canada is MLB.TV ($24.99/mo). It allows you to watch pretty much every regular-season game. The exceptions will be any game the Blue Jays play against your local team or that has exclusive rights owned by someone else (eg, Peacock).

Note that MLB.TV does not include playoff games. To watch those, you will need a live TV streaming service.

Live TV streaming services provide access to nationally televised games. These include all of the playoffs.

• Sling TV: Offers ESPN, FS1, and TBS to those who subscribe to its Orange + Blue plan ($55.00/month). Also available are Fox and NBC affiliates in select markets while any ABC-broadcast Blue Jays games should be available here through ESPN3. The Sports Extras add-on ($15/mo) is necessary for the MLB Network. You can also check out Team USA at the World Baseball Classic on Sling. (Sling TV review)
• DIRECTV STREAM (formerly AT&T TV): Offers access to many of the US-based channels that show the Blue Jays through its Entertainment plan ($79.99/month). These include your Fox, NBC, and ABC affiliates, ESPN, TBS, and FS1. If you want to also gain access to the MLB Network and RSNs in your area, you will need to get its Choice plan ($108.99/month). All plans come with unlimited cloud DVR and simultaneous streaming on unlimited devices. (DIRECTV STREAM review)

Everything You Need to Know About the Toronto Blue Jays

The Blue Jays were Major League Baseball’s second foray into Canada. The Montreal Expos had already played eight seasons when Toronto took to the field for the first time in 1977. The Expos left Canada to become the Washington Nationals in 2005.

However, it was the Blue Jays who were the first of the Canadian clubs to break through the League Championship Series and play in the World Series. This followed three ALCS losses, in 1985, 1989, and 1991. And the team made a habit of it, claiming not only the 1992 World Series but repeating its title a year later, which are to date Toronto’s only World Series appearances.

Toronto has also done well lately, recording winning records five times in the eight years from 2014 to 2021, which included making the playoffs three times and advancing to the ALCS twice, in 2015 and 2016.

In 2021, the Blue Jays went 91-71 to finish fourth in the AL East division standings and missed out on the playoffs by just one game. 2022 saw the Blue Jays finish second in the division rankings with a 92-70 record to qualify for the postseason where they lost to the Seattle Mariners in the Wild Card Series. They made the postseason again in 2023 with a record of 89-73. Unfortunately, they were beaten by the Minnesota Twins in the Wild Card Series.
