Toronto Blue Jays To Start 2021 MLB Season Based In Dunedin

DUNEDIN, FL — The Toronto Blue Jays will call Dunedin home for at least the start of the 2021 regular MLB season. The first two homestands will be played at TD Ballpark in Dunedin.

After starting the season with three-game series at the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers, Toronto’s schedule has a homestand with four games against the Los Angeles Angels from April 8-11 and the Yankees from April 12-14. The Blue Jays follow with a trip to Kansas City, Boston and Tampa Bay, then have home games against Washington on April 27-28 and Atlanta from April 30 to May 2. That is followed by a 10-game trip to Oakland, Houston and Atlanta.

The TD Ballpark in Dunedin seats about 8,500 fans and had a major renovation in 2019-20. The Blue Jays intend to limit capacity to 15 percent.

"Like all Canadians, we had hoped to see improvements in the public health outlook as we neared the 2021 baseball season," said the Blue Jays management in a statement. "With the ongoing Canada-U.S. border closure, we have made the difficult decision to play the first two homestands of the 2021 regular season (through May 2) at TD Ballpark in Dunedin with the hopes of a return to play at Rogers Centre in Toronto as soon as possible."
