Games in Toronto in August: what to catch
Planning a Toronto sports trip in August? Here's what's on — Blue Jays baseball at Rogers Centre — plus tickets and the arena guide.
August in Toronto is baseball season. The Toronto Blue Jays are the main event, playing a full slate of home games at Rogers Centre downtown — the NHL (Maple Leafs) and NBA (Raptors) seasons don't start until the fall, so if you want a live game in the city in August, the Jays are your ticket.
Blue Jays at Rogers Centre
Rogers Centre sits right next to the CN Tower, a five-minute walk from Union Station — take the GO or TTC and skip parking entirely. The retractable roof means a game is never rained out, and the recent renovations added some of the best outfield social spaces in baseball.
- Best value seats: the 500 level down the lines, or the outfield districts for the atmosphere.
- Getting there: Union Station is a covered walk away; the whole entertainment district is at your feet.
- Pre-game: the Maple Leaf Square / King West area is packed with patios and breweries.
Check the exact August dates and opponents on the schedule, and compare ticket prices per game there.
Make it a road trip
Toronto pairs naturally with a longer swing. Head east along Highway 401 to Ottawa and Montréal for the Ontario–Québec loop, or cross into the US toward the I-95 Northeast corridor for a bigger multi-city trip.
