How to watch the untelevised Blue Jays-Rays game tonight

May 17 2024, 2:50 pm

When the Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays face off tonight at the Rogers Centre, it’ll be a key matchup for two AL East rivals within two-and-a-half games of each other in the standings.

But if you’re not in attendance, it’ll take a different route to watch the game than simply turning on a TV or tuning into Sportsnet Now.

Today’s game is one of a select number of Apple TV+ games, as part of the Friday Night Baseball presentation offered throughout the season.

While there’s a paid subscription option for the service, new and returning Apple TV+ subscribers can access a two-month free trial of Apple TV+ to watch the game.

Chris Bassitt is expected to make the start for Toronto, while Tyler Alexander will get the ball for the Rays. First pitch is scheduled for 7:07 pm ET, with Toronto carrying a record of 19-23 into the contest, while the Rays are 23-22.
