The Toronto Blue Jays have sent perhaps more players to the World Baseball Classic than any other MLB organization.  

Thirteen players are participating in the tournament, which includes Vladimir Guerrero Jr. playing for the Dominican Republic and Ernie Clement playing for the United States. There are 11 different countries that Toronto players will don uniforms for in the event.

Pool play features five teams will play one another in a round robin format. The top two teams in each pool will advance out of pool play and into quarterfinal action, which is single elimination.

Those games are taking place around the world, with sites in the United States in Miami and Houston, and overseas in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Tokyo, Japan.

Fans who want to follow their favorite Blue Jays players in the WBC need a television schedule. Fortunately, all but a few of the games are on the Fox family of networks, including FOX, FS1, FS2, FOX Deportes, the Fox Sports App and Tubi.

Plus, 41 out of the 47 contests will air in Spanish across a combination of FOX Deportes, the FOX Sports App, Tubi and FOX One.

Here is the complete schedule for the Blue Jays who will play in the WBC, with game times (eastern) and television designations.
