Where the Toronto Blue Jays ranked in MLB attendance in 2026

The Toronto Blue Jays may not have made the playoffs in 2026, but they were among Major League Baseball's best teams when it came to attendance.

According to ESPN, the Blue Jays welcomed 3.33 million fans through the Rogers Centre gates over the course of their 81 home games, averaging 41,220 fans per game.

It's the highest amount among teams that did not reach the postseason, and the fourth-highest across MLB, trailing only the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, and the New York Yankees.

The Blue Jays were also one of just five teams to surpass the three-million mark, reaching that milestone for the first time in three seasons.

If you're wondering what the highest-attended game of the season was, it was fittingly on none other than a Loonie Dog Tuesday.

A total of 43,554 fans packed the Rogers Centre on Sept. 15 to eat $1 glizzies and watch the Blue Jays get blown out by the Detroit Tigers 10-1.

Even during their successful 2025 season, when Toronto won the AL East and eventually reached the World Series, the team averaged 35,184 fans over their 81 home games. That's 6,036 fewer fans per game.

It's no surprise to see attendance soar following a World Series berth. Toronto's highest-ever single-season attendance came in 1993, the year after the franchise won its first World Series title.

That particular season, the fans packed the former SkyDome every game, averaging more than 50,000 fans, and 4.1 million fans for the season.

The 2026 total is the second-best attendance number for the franchise since 1993, just narrowly behind the 2016 season, when Toronto averaged 41,880 fans following its 2015 ALCS run and iconic José Bautista bat flip.

The Dodgers were the only team to surpass the four million fan mark in 2026. Though their number may deserve an asterisk since they play at the largest ballpark in the MLB with a capacity of 56,000.

In comparison, the Rogers Centre holds just under 40,000 after its most recent renovations.

And while Toronto finished the season with a disappointing 79-83 record, good for last place in the AL East, its attendance numbers were in a completely different ballpark from those of the division champion Tampa Bay Rays.

As a matter of fact, the Blue Jays drew more fans in the first half of the season alone than Tampa Bay did for the entire year.

So, despite the season ending earlier than Blue Jays fans expected, at least they were putting butts in seats.
