How To Watch the Blue Jays in the World Baseball Classic

The World Baseball Classic starts this week, and 12 Toronto Blue Jays players are set to participate. The whole starting infield is playing in the tournament: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (Dominican Republic), Ernie Clement (USA), Andrés Giménez (Venezuela), Kazuma Okamoto (Japan), and Alejandro Kirk (Mexico).

The other seven Blue Jays in the WBC are likely to start the 2026 campaign in the minor leagues: right-hander Yariel Rodríguez (Cuba), infielder Leo Jiménez (Panama), left-hander Adam Macko (Canada), outfielder RJ Schreck (Israel), catcher C.J. Stubbs (Israel), outfielder Ismael Munguia (Nicaragua), and catcher Will Cresswell (Great Britain).

In addition, three more Toronto hurlers are in their countries' designated pitcher pools: Jeff Hoffman (USA), Tyler Rogers (USA), and José Berríos (Puerto Rico). 

There will still be plenty worth watching in Dunedin, as those who are staying behind will try to take advantage of the additional playing time opportunities. But for Blue Jays fans interested in following the team's representatives in the WBC, here's when and how to watch them play.

How To Watch the WBC

In Canada, every game of the World Baseball Classic will be available on either Sportsnet, one of Sportsnet's sister channels, or Sportsnet+. The detailed daily broadcast schedule as of March 5 (when the tournament begins) can be found on the Sportsnet website at this link. Alternatively, you can find the same information in a slightly different layout on Sportsnet's TV listings page.

Not every game will air on actual television, but still, it’s nice that they’re all available to watch in one way or another. Fans are probably most excited to see the Dominican Republic take on Venezuela or the USA battle Mexico, but if you can’t wait to stream Chinese Taipei vs. Czechia late at night, rest assured that you can do just that.

French-language broadcasts will be available via TVA Sports. Information on how to watch the WBC from other countries can be found on MLB.com.
