The table below consolidates confirmed schedule and broadcast details for the upcoming Blue Jays series.

Are the Blue Jays playing tonight?

No—not in Toronto. The Blue Jays are currently on the West Coast, finishing a three-game series at Angel Stadium in Anaheim against the Los Angeles Angels. Monday’s game starts at 9:38 PM PT (12:38 AM Tuesday Eastern Time), with the series wrapping up through Wednesday, April 22. The Angels series includes games on Monday and Tuesday at 9:38 PM PT, and Wednesday at 3:07 PM PT.

Tonight’s matchup details

Monday’s game at Angel Stadium is the third of four meetings in this early-season series. The Blue Jays traveled to Anaheim after playing the preceding stretch on the road, and they won’t return home until the Guardians arrive in town later in the week. This means there is no Blue Jays game at Rogers Centre tonight or through Thursday.

Game start time and venue

Monday’s game against the Angels is scheduled for 9:38 PM PT from Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. The Blue Jays’ next home game—the first against the Guardians—tips off Friday, April 24, 2026 at 7:07 PM EDT from Rogers Centre in Toronto. The venue is the Blue Jays’ home ballpark and sits in the heart of downtown Toronto, making it a destination game for fans across the Great Lakes region.

The matchup that most fans searching tonight are likely looking for—the Blue Jays against the Cleveland Guardians—begins Friday, April 24, 2026 at 7:07 PM EDT at Rogers Centre. That’s a three-game weekend series: Game 2 on Saturday, April 25 at 3:00 PM ET (nationally televised on FS1), and Game 3 on Sunday, April 26 at 1:37 PM EDT. All three games are at Rogers Centre.

Are the Blue Jays playing tonight on TV?

Tonight’s Angels game is not listed on any major national broadcast network for US viewers, and Canadian fans watching on Sportsnet will find that regional restrictions apply to road games on MLB.TV. The more relevant TV story this week is Saturday’s nationally broadcast game on FS1, which gives all US viewers a chance to watch the Blue Jays and Guardians without regional restrictions that typically apply to Friday or Sunday games.

TV and streaming options

For Saturday’s nationally broadcast game, US viewers have multiple options. The game airs on FS1 (DirecTV Channel 219) and can be streamed through FOX One apps, fox.com, and foxsports.com. Additional streaming options include MLB.TV and MLB Extra Innings for subscribers. In Canada, Sportsnet One (SN1) carries the game with no regional blackout for Saturday national broadcasts.

Channels like SN1 and FS1

The Saturday, April 25 game between the Blue Jays and Guardians airs on FS1 nationally in the United States, which means viewers in home markets—including Cleveland and Toronto—can watch the game on their local FOX affiliate without regional blackout restrictions (Sports Media Watch broadcast schedule). The Saturday broadcast is also available on FOX One, MLB.TV, and MLB Extra Innings (Sports Media Watch).

Canadian viewers have strong coverage through Sportsnet and Sportsnet One, the Blue Jays’ official Canadian broadcast network. Almost every Blue Jays game appears on one of these channels, making Canada one of the most consistently covered markets in MLB for a single team (Live Sports on TV Blue Jays coverage guide). The Saturday game is specifically available on CleGuardians.TV and SN1 in Canada (Sports Media Watch).

Where are the Toronto Blue Jays playing?

The Blue Jays are playing away games in Anaheim through Wednesday, April 22. They return home to Rogers Centre in Toronto starting Friday, April 24, when the Guardians come to town for a three-game weekend series. The answer depends entirely on whether you’re looking for tonight’s location (Anaheim) or the home series that starts later this week (Toronto).

Home or away game location

Through Wednesday, April 22, the Blue Jays are on the road at Angel Stadium, Anaheim, California. Friday, April 24 marks the start of a six-game homestand beginning with the Guardians series. The full schedule shows the Blue Jays remain at Rogers Centre through at least Tuesday, April 28, when they host the Boston Red Sox at 7:07 PM EDT (DIRECTV Insider schedule). After that, they hit the road again to face Tampa Bay May 4–6.

Rogers Centre details

Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada is the Blue Jays’ home stadium and one of the most recognizable ballparks in Major League Baseball. The stadium is fully enclosed with a retractable roof, which means weather is never a factor for the Guardians series—fans will see the roof closed if conditions are poor, keeping the game on schedule. The ballpark seats over 40,000 and sits in the downtown entertainment district, making it accessible for visitors from across Ontario and beyond.

What TV channel is the Blue Jays game on?

Saturday’s game is the clearest answer to that question: FS1 carries the Blue Jays vs Guardians nationally in the US at 3:00 PM ET on Saturday, April 25. Friday’s game has no national TV broadcast in either country, and Sunday’s game is available through MLB.TV and MLB Extra Innings but not on major broadcast or cable networks. The broad strokes are simple: US fans who want guaranteed access this week should tune to FS1 on Saturday afternoon.

Primary channels

The Blue Jays’ primary TV channels break down by country. In the United States, FS1 is the main national carrier for Saturday games, with DirecTV Channel 219 carrying the network. ESPN (DirecTV Channel 206) airs select nationally broadcast MLB games and Sunday Night Baseball. TBS covers Tuesday night MLB games throughout the regular season. MLB Network (DirecTV Channel 213) carries 26 MLB Network Showcase games, though in-market fans face blackout restrictions on that channel as well.

Sportsnet coverage

In Canada, Sportsnet and Sportsnet One are the default carriers for nearly every Blue Jays game, making the team’s broadcast coverage unusually consistent for Canadian viewers. Sportsnet One (SN1) specifically carries the Saturday, April 25 game nationally. One important caveat for Canadian fans using MLB.TV: Sportsnet enforces blackout restrictions for home Blue Jays games, meaning Toronto-based subscribers cannot stream those games through MLB.TV and must rely on Sportsnet’s own platforms instead (Live Sports on TV).

When is the Blue Jays next game?

The next home game is Friday, April 24, 2026 at 7:07 PM EDT against the Cleveland Guardians at Rogers Centre. That’s the opening game of a three-game weekend series. The full upcoming stretch includes the Guardians series, a two-game set against the Boston Red Sox (April 27–28), and then a road trip to Tampa Bay in early May. The Blue Jays play 162 regular-season games, and this particular stretch represents a mix of home cooking and road travel that fans should plan around.

Upcoming schedule highlights

Here is the complete near-term schedule for the Blue Jays based on confirmed sources. After finishing the Angels series with games on Tuesday, April 21 and Wednesday, April 22 (both at 9:38 PM PT and 3:07 PM PT respectively), the Blue Jays return to Toronto for their homestand:

• Friday, April 24 — vs Cleveland Guardians, 7:07 PM EDT (Rogers Centre)
• Saturday, April 25 — vs Cleveland Guardians, 3:00 PM ET on FS1 (Rogers Centre)
• Sunday, April 26 — vs Cleveland Guardians, 1:37 PM EDT (Rogers Centre)
• Monday, April 27 — vs Boston Red Sox, 7:07 PM EDT (Rogers Centre)
• Tuesday, April 28 — vs Boston Red Sox, 7:07 PM EDT (Rogers Centre)

The schedule shows a compressed homestand with back-to-back series against divisional rivals before the Blue Jays travel south for their Tampa Bay series.

Tomorrow’s matchup

There is no game at Rogers Centre on Thursday, April 23—the Blue Jays use that day to travel home from Anaheim and prepare for the Guardians series. For fans asking “is there a Blue Jays game tomorrow?” the answer is no, not at home. The next game is Friday evening. However, the Angels series continues Tuesday night in Anaheim (9:38 PM PT) for fans who want to follow the road trip.

Looking further ahead, the Blue Jays hit the road again after the Red Sox series, traveling to Tampa Bay for a three-game set May 4–6. Those games start at 3:40 PM on May 4 and 5, with a 10:10 AM first pitch on May 6 (DIRECTV Insider). After Tampa Bay, the Blue Jays return home to face the Los Angeles Angels on May 8 at 4:07 PM.

The Cleveland Guardians bring one of the American League’s hottest offenses to Toronto for this weekend series, according to FOX Sports analysts.

One of the hottest lineups in the American League will be on full display when the Cleveland Guardians head north of the border to take on the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET on FS1, live from Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada.

— FOX Sports MLB coverage

Sportsnet provides extensive Blue Jays coverage for Canadian viewers throughout the regular season.

For fans in Canada, almost every Blue Jays game will be broadcast on Sportsnet or Sportsnet One, which is the team’s official TV network, available nationwide.

— Live Sports on TV Blue Jays broadcasting guide

The broader broadcast landscape for MLB includes several national carriers beyond what fans will use this week. FOX carries 20 Saturday late-afternoon or evening Blue Jays games plus four Thursday night games per season. ESPN handles select national broadcasts and Sunday Night Baseball. TBS covers Tuesday night MLB games throughout the regular season. MLB Network airs 26 MLB Network Showcase games, though in-market fans face blackout restrictions on that channel (Live Sports on TV). MLB.TV remains the go-to option for out-of-market fans who want to follow the entire MLB schedule regardless of regional restrictions.

For Toronto Blue Jays fans planning their week, the picture is straightforward: the team is in Anaheim tonight and through Wednesday, returns home Thursday, and opens the Guardians series Friday evening. Saturday’s nationally televised game on FS1 at 3:00 PM ET is the easiest game to catch for US viewers, while Canadian fans can find consistent coverage through Sportsnet One all weekend long.
