The Toronto Blue Jays have released their 2024 regular season schedule, which begins on Thursday, March 28 against the Tampa Bay Rays, a short drive from their Spring Training home.

The Blue Jays Home Opener presented by TD takes place on Monday, April 8 against the Seattle Mariners, beginning a nine-game homestand during which the second phase of Rogers Centre renovations will be unveiled to fans for the first time.

Below are additional highlights of the club’s 48th regular season schedule:

· 46 interleague games, highlighted by NL West home series against the Colorado Rockies (April 12 to 14) and Los Angeles Dodgers (April 26 to 28).
