Toronto Blue Jays stick with same start times for 2023 regular season

Editor’s Note: This is a corrected story. A previous version included an incorrect reference to a change in the Blue Jays’ Sunday home game start times.

The Toronto Blue Jays will stick with the same home game start times — with a few exceptions — for the 2023 regular season, the team said Tuesday.

Weekday games will begin at 7:07 p.m. Eastern Time, Saturday games will start at 3:07 p.m., and Sunday games will begin at 1:37 p.m., the Blue Jays said in a release.

The home schedule at the newly renovated Rogers Centre will kick off April 11 against the Detroit Tigers.

There will be a 4:07 p.m. Saturday start on June 24 against the Oakland Athletics and a 3:07 p.m. Sunday start for the regular-season finale on Oct. 1 against the Tampa Bay Rays.
