The Toronto Blue Jays will bookend their 2026 season at Rogers Centre.
Toronto will host the Athletics for a three-game series to begin the schedule on March 26, and they'll close out the 162-game campaign by welcoming the Cincinnati Reds for a three-game set that ends Sept. 27.
Major League Baseball unveiled its full 2026 schedule on Tuesday.
It will mark the second straight season that the Jays have opened and closed at home.
In between the opener and closer, the Blue Jays will also be home for Canada Day, when they take on the New York Mets in the conclusion of a three-game series.
However, Toronto will be on the road for Victoria Day on May 18, when it meets the New York Yankees for the first time all season to begin a four-game series in the Bronx.
The Blue Jays won't face an AL East opponent for a month to start the season before hosting the Boston Red Sox from April 27-29.
September is light on divisional games, too, with just two series against the Baltimore Orioles.
The Blue Jays will have their two longest homestands in June — a nine-game stretch from June 5 to 14 and a 10-game run from June 22 to July 1.
Including the Colorado Rockies in the second series of the season and Reds in the last, the Blue Jays will host eight interleague series in 2026. A marquee matchup comes early, with Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers visiting April 6-8.
The American League East rival New York Yankees will head north for a pair of weekend series — June 12-14 and Aug. 14-16.
For the team's West Coast fans, Toronto visits the Seattle Mariners for a weekend series July 3-5.
During Rivalry Weekend from May 15-17, the Blue Jays will visit the Detroit Tigers.
The all-star break goes from July 13-16, with festivities set to take place in Philadelphia.
Meanwhile, the leaguewide schedule will begin with one game between the Yankees and San Francisco Giants on March 25 before the remaining 28 teams start their schedules one day later.
The Athletics, who are expected to move to Las Vegas in 2028, will host back-to-back series in Sin City in June while spending the remainder of their home schedule in Sacramento, Calif.
