Sportsnet to Simulcast Friday Blue Jays–Royals After Deal With Apple TV+

MLB facilitated a one-game arrangement so Canadian viewers without Apple TV+ can watch a potential clincher on Sportsnet.

Toronto Blue Jays players celebrate after defeating the Tampa Bay Rays during a baseball game Monday, Sept. 15, 2025, in Tampa, Fla.

Overview

  • Sportsnet will carry Apple TV+'s game feed while producing Blue Jays Central at 7 p.m. ET and post-game coverage.
  • Toronto entered Thursday with a magic number of three, leaving Friday's game as a possible playoff clincher depending on Guardians results.
  • The agreement is limited to this matchup, with Apple retaining exclusive rights to the Sept. 26 game against the Rays.
  • Sportsnet and the Blue Jays sought MLB's help, and the league engaged Apple to finalize the simulcast.
  • Before the deal, the Blue Jays–Royals game was set as an Apple TV+ exclusive that many Canadian viewers could not access.
