"It's a good thing the Rogers Centre has a retractable roof because watching baseball in Toronto in March is guaranteed to be down right freezing, especially once the sun goes down. But that's exactly when the Toronto Blue Jays will kick off their American League title defense in 2026. The club recently announced that their day game home opener, has now become a night game, but that's not the only change."
"For the Blue Jays, who captured the attention of the entire country during their October playoff run, it only feels fitting that they would get to begin their new quest in the spotlight, and capitalize on having the most potential eyeballs on the product right out of the gates. There will also be a lot of attention on them considering what they have already done this offseason, by signing a premier starter in Dylan Cease."
The Rogers Centre's retractable roof protects fans from March cold as the Toronto Blue Jays begin their American League title defense in 2026. The Blue Jays moved their scheduled afternoon home opener on March 26 to a night game on Friday, March 27 at 7pm ET. The organization is likely to stage season-opening festivities including banner ceremonies for the AL East division title and the AL pennant. The team enters the season with heightened attention after an October playoff run and an offseason addition of starting pitcher Dylan Cease. The early 2026 schedule features a relatively soft slate that could allow the club to compile wins.
