Sportsnet to Broadcast Blue Jays Playoff Chase on Apple TV

Sportsnet and the Blue Jays worked together to make sure that fans didn’t miss out on playoff action by getting MLB to allow the broadcast of a game on Apple TV+. The hope was that the Jays’ game against the Kansas City Royals would be available to more viewers. However, things took a turn when the Jays lost to the Rays and the Guardians beat the Tigers, postponing any potential clinching scenarios.

While the Jays and Sportsnet successfully convinced Apple TV+ to simulcast the game on Friday, the results of other games meant that the Jays would have to wait until at least Saturday to secure a playoff spot. Even though this caused a change in plans, the Apple TV+ deal now includes exclusive rights to next Friday’s Jays-Rays game at the Rogers Centre.

This turn of events presents an interesting possibility for a division-clinching scenario, adding more excitement and anticipation for Blue Jays fans. With the season heating up and playoffs looming, every game becomes even more crucial for the team and its supporters. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing situation as the Jays continue their journey towards the postseason.
