Toronto Teams Shift Schedules for Blue Jays World Series

Toronto’s major sports teams have reshaped this week’s schedule so fans can watch the Blue Jays in the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, with Games 1 and 2 at Rogers Centre set for 8 p.m. ET on Friday, Oct. 24, and Saturday, Oct. 25. The Raptors moved their Oct. 24 home opener vs. the Milwaukee Bucks to 6:30 p.m., and their Oct. 29 game vs. the Houston Rockets was also moved to 6:30 p.m. The Maple Leafs shifted three games after coordination with the NHL, NBA, teams and broadcasters: Oct. 24 at Buffalo to 7:00 p.m., Oct. 25 at Scotiabank Arena vs. Buffalo to 5:00 p.m., and Oct. 28 vs. Calgary to 6:00 p.m. Scotiabank Arena plans to show Blue Jays Games 1 and 2 (and select later games) on its videoboard after Leafs and Raptors home games so supporters can follow both events. MLSE said the changes, aided in part by Rogers’s ownership links with MLSE, reflect fan demand for the Blue Jays’ first World Series appearance since 1993.
