Looking for a free Toronto Blue Jays watch party this World Series? The City of Toronto is hosting free, outdoor public viewing parties for the Blue Jays’ postseason games, with ALCS events at David Pecaut Square and World Series parties slated for Nathan Phillips Square. Expect a big screen, a festival vibe, and thousands of fans.

When are the games?

Game 1 of the 2025 World Series (Dodgers vs. Blue Jays) starts Friday, October 24 at 8:00 p.m. ET, with Toronto holding home-field advantage. Subsequent games run through October 31/November 1 if necessary, airing on FOX/Sportsnet.

Where are the free watch parties?

David Pecaut Square (ALCS) — 215 King St W. If you went last round, note that World Series parties move to Nathan Phillips Square.

What to bring (and what to skip)

Do bring warm layers, a blanket/low camp chair, a portable battery, sealed drinks, and snacks. Skip glass containers and large umbrellas that block views. Check on-site signage for any additional restrictions.

How to get there

Transit first: Osgoode/Queen streetcar stops are a short walk to Nathan Phillips Square. Biking is easy with on-site rings—bring a lock and lights. Driving is possible but parking fills quickly on game nights.

Can’t make the square?

Every World Series game airs on FOX/Sportsnet, and major live-TV streaming services carry the broadcast (check your plan for local access and blackout rules).

Keep the party going nearby

If you prefer an indoor crowd, popular Jays bars include Opera Bob’s, Left Field Brewery, and The Loose Moose—arrive early on World Series nights.

Stay close to the action

Want to walk to the free Toronto Blue Jays watch party and be back in comfort right after the final out? RivetStays suites in the Entertainment District and near City Hall put you steps from the screens—ideal for warming up pre-game and winding down post-game.
