Watching the Blue Jays without cable depends entirely on which side of the border you live on. Canadian fans are locked into the Rogers/Sportsnet ecosystem with limited options and rising prices. American fans, ironically, have the better deal -- MLB.TV works with zero blackout restrictions because the Jays play in a Canadian market. It is one of the stranger situations in baseball.
In Canada: Sportsnet+ Is the Only Game
Sportsnet carries virtually all 162 Blue Jays regular season games across its family of channels (Sportsnet, Sportsnet One, Sportsnet 360). The only exceptions are select Apple TV+ Friday Night Baseball exclusives.
For cord-cutters, Sportsnet+ is the streaming option. Prices went up significantly in late 2025 and remain in effect for 2026:
- Standard: $29.99 CAD per month or $249.99 CAD per year
- Premium: $42.99 CAD per month or $324.99 CAD per year
The Standard plan covers all Blue Jays games plus NHL content. Premium adds 4K, additional camera angles, and concurrent streams. Both are only available to Canadian residents.
There is no way around this. Sportsnet+ is the only direct streaming path to Blue Jays games in Canada without cable. Fubo Canada and some other services carry Sportsnet channels, but Sportsnet+ is the standalone option.
In the US: The Blackout Loophole
Here is where it gets interesting. Because the Blue Jays play in Canada, their games are not subject to any US regional blackout restrictions on MLB.TV. Every single Blue Jays game is available to American MLB.TV subscribers at $19.99 USD per month or $99.99 USD per season.
No RSN subscription. No blackout headaches. No worrying about which streaming service carries which channel. If you live anywhere in the United States, MLB.TV gives you full access to the Blue Jays for less than what Canadian fans pay for Sportsnet+. It is one of the best deals in baseball for an out-of-country fan base.
National Broadcasts
Select Blue Jays games air on US national networks (Fox, NBC, ESPN) and are available free with an antenna for viewers in the US. The number of national appearances varies by season and depends on how competitive the team is. AL East matchups against the Yankees and Red Sox are the most likely to land in national windows.
In Canada, some games air on FX Canada and other Rogers-affiliated channels outside the core Sportsnet lineup.
A basic HDTV antenna costs $15-30 and picks up local Fox and NBC affiliates in HD. For US-based fans near the Canadian border, you may also pick up Canadian broadcast signals.
What This Costs You

| Sportsnet+ Standard | $29.99 CAD/mo or $249.99 CAD/yr | All Blue Jays games + NHL | Canada only |
| Sportsnet+ Premium | $42.99 CAD/mo or $324.99 CAD/yr | Standard + 4K + multi-stream | Canada only |
| MLB.TV | $19.99 USD/mo or $99.99 USD/season | All Blue Jays games, zero blackouts | US only |
| HDTV antenna | $15-30 one-time | US national broadcasts on Fox/NBC | US |
Two Countries, Two Realities
Canadian fans are paying more for less flexibility, and the Sportsnet+ price hike stings. But it is the only path to Blue Jays games without cable in Canada, and the product itself -- nearly every game, live and on demand -- is solid.
American fans have the rare advantage of full MLB.TV access with no blackouts, making the Blue Jays one of the cheapest teams to follow from the US at under $100 for the entire season.
Regardless of which side of the border you are on, the daily information around the games is the same challenge: tonight's pitcher, game time, yesterday's box score, AL East standings, injury reports, trade rumors. Small Ball is a free daily Blue Jays email that delivers all of it every morning. Two minutes, no cost, and it works whether you are watching on Sportsnet+ in Toronto or MLB.TV in Buffalo.
