The Toronto Blue Jays play in the American League East and came in third last season. The squad remains in the same position to start the 2024 season, beginning the year behind the Orioles and Yankees. If you want to watch Kevin Gausman and his fellow starters make a run for the World Series, you’ll need the right live TV streaming platform.
Fortunately, there are ways to watch Canadian MLB teams in the States, even though you won’t have the same access to regional sports networks as U.S.-based teams do.
It’s a bit difficult to watch the Toronto Blue Jays in the U.S. since local games are available on channels like Sportsnet and TVA. However, if you’re in the States and want to keep up with the Blue Jays, there are some games airing on national networks and apps.

DIRECTV STREAM has four plans, though you’ll get the most action if you have the Choice, Ultimate or Premier package. Though you can’t get Canadian Sportsnet channels with this service, you can use Fox and MLB Network to watch Blue Jays games.
DIRECTV STREAM also carries major networks for other sports. For instance, customers with the Choice plan and above get NFL Network, NHL Network, NFL RedZone, MotorTrend, CBS Sports Network, Fox Sports 1 (FS1) and Fox Sports 2 (FS2). Available collegiate-focused networks include SEC Network, ACC Network and Big Ten Network. DIRECTV STREAM offers unlimited DVR storage in all plans.
Fubo is also good for sports fans, airing Blue Jays games on both Fox and the MLB Network (with a sports add-on). You’ll catch other baseball action on networks like ESPN and FS1, though the service does lack TBS and TNT, both of which carry at least some MLB games each season. You can choose between the Fubo Pro, Elite and Premier plans for service.
Aside from professional baseball coverage, Fubo has channels like NFL Network, Fox Soccer Plus, ESPNEWS, Big Ten Network, Golf Channel and Court Sports Network. The Sports Lite Add-on has additional networks like MLB Network, NHL Network and NBA TV. You’ll have 1000 hours of cloud DVR storage space, too.
Hulu + Live TV is the only streaming platform that gives all customers ESPN Plus as a part of their core service. This is an especially big deal for Blue Jays fans, as it represents an additional way to watch the Blue Jays when you’re in the U.S. On top of that, Hulu + Live TV customers also get MLB Network and FS1, plus ESPN and FS1 for even more Blue Jays content. All live plans also have the Hulu on-demand library for series and movies. You can eliminate ads from the on-demand library for an increased monthly price.
In addition to Fox and MLB Network, Hulu + Live subscribers also get ESPN2, FS2, NFL Network, TNT, Big Ten Network and SEC Network. If you sign up for the Sports Add-on, you get NFL RedZone, FanDuel TV, FanDuel Racing, Sportsman Channel and more. Hulu + Live TV has unlimited DVR space.
Sling TV isn’t the best place for Blue Jays games, but it does have MLB action. You can watch games on Fox where local channels are available at an additional cost, or watch MLB Network with a sports add-on. When it comes to watching baseball with this platform, the Sling Blue package has Fox in some markets, plus TBS and FS1. Sling Orange has ESPN and TBS. You can get all of the channels offered by the platform with the Sling Orange & Blue plan.
Each Sling plan has a Sports Extra available for an additional cost. Not only will you get MLB Network with these add-ons, but you’ll unlock MLB Network Strike Zone, NHL Network, NBA TV, Tennis Channel, NFL RedZone and Golf Channel. For recording, Sling TV offers 50 hours of DVR storage or 200 hours with a DVR Extra.
YouTube TV lets you watch the Toronto Blue Jays on Fox, but the platform lost the MLB Network a few years ago. You can watch other MLB games on networks like ESPN and FS1, both available in the single plan’s core channel lineup. YouTube TV has features like the Key Plays, which allows you to catch up on game highlights and stats without getting spoiled if you turn on the game late.
You may also appreciate the NFL Network, FS2, MotorTrend, ACC Network, the CBS Sports Network and the Tennis Channel. YouTube TV has a Sports Plus add-on that features networks for sports fans like NFL RedZone, Fox Soccer Plus, FanDuel TV, Fight Network and more. Plus, during football season, YouTube TV is now the only place you can get the NFL Sunday Ticket. YouTube TV also has unlimited DVR storage.
Apple TV+ carries two exclusive games every Friday this season. The Blue Jays will air on the streaming platforms when they play the Washington Nationals and Tampa Bay Rays. You can get a seven-day free trial for Apple TV+ if you’re a new customer.
You can download the Apple TV+ app to a variety of devices once you have an account, not just Apple devices. You can also use Apple TV+ with Amazon Fire TVs, Amazon Fire TV Sticks, smart TVs from Samsung, VIZIO and LG, Roku devices, PlayStations, Xbox gaming consoles and Chromecast with Google TV.
You can use MLB TV to watch out-of-market Blue Jays games, making it a good option for fans who live outside Toronto. Even better, only U.S. clubs are subject to home territory blackouts, so you won’t have to worry about missing any home games.
In Canada, the team plays on Sportsnet, Sportsnet Plus and other regional networks. In the U.S., you can watch the team on any streamer that carries MLB Network and Fox for nationally aired games, plus some games on ESPN Plus.
During the 2024 season, Apple TV Plus will air two Toronto Blue Jays games. You can watch them face the Washington Nationals on May 3rd and the Tampa Bay Rays on May 17th.
You can watch the Blue Jays on MLB Network, ESPN Plus, Fox, Apple TV Plus and MLB TV. Customers with a VPN may be able to watch some content from Canadian networks.
