The 2023 Toronto Blue Jays season is the 47th season of the Toronto Blue Jays franchise, and the Blue Jays’ 32nd full season (34th overall) at Rogers Centre. They started the season on the road against the St. Louis Cardinals on March 30, and will finish the season at home against the Tampa Bay Rays on October 1.

The schedule has been revised de-emphasizing divisional play by shifting over twenty games to inter-league play. Toronto will now play each divisional opponent in four series, two home and two away, down from six. Those eight series have been added to the inter-league schedule where the Jays will now be playing each National League team once except for the Phillies, which they will play both home and away.

Previous season

The 2022 Blue Jays finished 2nd in the AL East, to the New York Yankees, with a record of 92–70 (.556). They qualified for the postseason, but lost in the Wild Card Series to the Seattle Mariners.
