Blue Jays To Get Big U.S. TV Exposure This Coming Season
I guess that's what coming THIS close to a World Series championship will do for you.
NBC, which takes control of ESPN's former Sunday Night Baseball, has confirmed there will be at least 6 Blue Jay games on its schedule this coming season, some just on its Peacock streamer but others on the full free network.
It starts early - Sept. 6th with the Jays in K.C. to take on the Royals. Those without Sportsnet will also be able to watch the May 31st match against the Twins, another on Victoria Day weekend when the Pirates play, and a third May Day, the 31st vs. Baltimore.
The Jays return to the U.S. network on July 19th in an early afternoon contest vs. The White Sox.
And of course if the Jays make the playoffs again, you'll see them a lot more come October, and possibly earlier if the games are important towards the end of the season.
It's the first time in a decade Sunday Night Baseball will have featured Canada's only remaining baseball team on one of its broadcasts.

Re: Blue Jays To Get Big U.S. TV Exposure This Coming Season
It's only one actual Sunday night game, the September 6th one....and that's not early in the season, it's in the final month of the season.
The other games you mentioned are all either part of their Sunday Leadoff package, which is the first game on Sunday morning/early afternoon, or on July 5th when they are airing all the day's games on either NBC or Peacock.
I'll give them credit for scheduling more than one Jays game under the Sunday morning package, but the US networks are still largely ignoring the Jays despite them being the reigning AL champs.

Re: Blue Jays To Get Big U.S. TV Exposure This Coming Season
Thats very great because baceball is the u.s's national sport.
Just like lacrose is ours.
The bluejays I can guess are extremely popular in western new york, and in detroit.
