Celebrating their 50th Anniversary Season, the Toronto Blue Jays are back for more high-flying action this season! Last season was an exceptionally exciting (and then heartbreaking) run, going all the way to the World Series, and everyone is looking forward to seeing their boys in blue again. It’s always a fun time to see a game at the Rogers Centre, so make the most of your time and money with our Guide to Family Tips and Updates for the 2026 Toronto Blue Jays Season. Play ball!
Marking 50 Years of Blue Jays Baseball!
- Surely, your kids aren’t old enough to remember when the Jays played at Exhibition Stadium, or maybe even when the Rogers Centre was called the SkyDome. So, starting this year, fans can discover facts and memorabilia from our team’s history with Franchise Pillars, located on the 100 Level and right field concourse. Displays include such interesting items as game-worn equipment, awards, vintage scorebooks and baseball cards, the home run jacket, and even Edwin’s parrot stuffy!
- There are many more ways this anniversary season is being commemorated, including a retro uniform patch, a Back-to-Back Championship statue unveiling on July 18, the opening of a new Hall of Excellence (with new inductee Buck Martinez) on August 29, and lots of fun 50th-themed promotions and giveaways. Find out more here!
Jr. Jays Sundays & Giveaways
- Jr. Jays Sundays program is back for the 2026 season starting March 29, with activities on Jr. Jays Zones located on the 100, 200 and 500 levels, including Park Social. Then, from June 7 through August 30, the party goes outside with games and inflatables, beginning at 10:30 AM up until first pitch.
- Kids 14 and under can run the bases after the game, on Jr. Jays Sunday games only.
- There’s also a free downloadable program on the Blue Jays website called the Fan Pack and kids activities on the ACE’s Clubhouse page.
- Join the free Jr. Jays Club to receive 50% off tickets to Jr. Jays Tickets for all Saturday and Sunday home games, access to run the bases and the Club Hub, and more.
- Plus, you can purchase an All-Star Membership which includes an exclusive 50th Season Merchandise Pack (backpack, adjustable hat, water bottle, tin lunch box, socks, and a tub of Play-Doh), games and challenges to win prizes, first access to running the bases, and more.
- Also back in full force are the popular promotions & events days, where you can pick up a souvenir upon entry, including Blue Jays-themed hats, novelties, and even jerseys! Be aware that supplies are quite limited. Make sure to arrive early as dedicated fans line up before the doors open (usually 90 minutes before game time).
- However, there are sometimes Specialty Tickets available, where you automatically receive a collectible item with your ticket. This is especially handy for families with young children, or anyone who doesn’t want to comfortably wait in a long line. This year, themes include SpongeBob SquarePants, Naruto, Potato Head and Stranger Things.

Money-Saving Tricks & More Hot Tips
- Unlike most sports venues, bringing in outside food to the Rogers Centre *is* allowed, as long as it’s wrapped or contained. It must be small enough to fit under the seats, as per their bag policy. Non-alcoholic drinks in plastic bottles under 600ml are also okay.
- Some foods are expensive (particularly alcohol) so head to the Dugout Deal Menu locations in Sections 240 on the 200 Level and 537 on the 500 Level, which offer kid-sized and affordable options, such as popcorn, soft-serve ice cream, nachos and hot dogs.
- If you’re looking for a quick and easy checkout option for snacks and drinks, visit Tap and Go at Section 104
- Loonie Dogs Nights are always a popular option where, as the name suggests, you can get one of their delicious hot dogs for just $1!
- Bring a reusable water bottle and re-fill it at water fountains located near the washroom entrances around the concourse. (100 Level: near Sections 101, 115, 125, 143; 200 Level: near Sections 207, 219, 229, 241; 500 Level: near Sections 507, 517, 521, 531, 541)
- Grab a cheap pre-game lunch or dinner before the game. There are fast-food options along Bremner Boulevard and at the new Union Station food court, an easy walk to the Rogers Centre.
- 500 level and 200 level outfield seats are the best deal, unless you or your kids are desperate to see the billboard. Plus, you might catch a home run ball!
- A tip for those sensitive to the sun: for matinée games on hot weather days, the shadiest spots are on the third baseline and outfield, particularly in the upper rows of the 100 Level, lower rows of the 500 Level, and throughout the 200 Level.
Rogers Centre Renovation
- The massive renovations continued this off-season, concentrating on the premium lounges. Find out more about the plans here!
- This project followed the recent renovation of the 100 level seats, complete with cup holders (finally!) and a directed view toward home base, even way down the sidelines.
- The major construction began with the extremely popular massive overhaul of the outfield areas, which now includes more food and entertainment areas, plus more ways to get close to the action through raised bullpens and the Rogers Landing open viewing areas.
- Families will definitely want to check out Park Social with hang-out spots and games for all ages, the renovated WestJet Flight Deck, and The Stop behind the batter’s eye on Level 100 with new food options. On date nights, adults will want to cozy up to the bars at Corona Rooftop Patio and The Catch Bar.
- All outfield districts are available to seat-holders but if you just want to hang out in the new areas, you can purchase separate tickets for $20 each, which is a great idea for kids who can’t sit still!
