WestJet Extends Partnership with Blue Jays; Hints At Exciting Celebration Planned for 2026

As the Blue Jays continue to fight to win the American League Championship series against the Seattle Mariners, WestJet has announced a renewed extension of its partnership as the team’s Official Airline. They’ve also hinted at something exciting happening in 2026 for the Jays’ 50th Season and WestJet’s 30th Anniversary.

WestJet’s been the team’s official airline since 2012 that includes fan experiences across Canada and the US like the iconic WestJet Flight Deck at Rogers Centre and TD Ballpark, and supporting Jays Care Foundation through the Gift of Flight.

“The renewal of our longstanding partnership with the Toronto Blue Jays reinforces our commitment to investing in meaningful travel experiences for Canadians,” said John Weatherill, WestJet Executive Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer.

“As we continue working to bring guests closer to the people and places they love the most, this partnership brings together two iconic Canadian brands and makes it easier for fans across the country to cheer on Canada’s team.”

As part of a renewed multi-year partnership agreement, WestJet’s presence will continue to be prominently featured throughout Rogers Centre and on broadcast. Fans can expect to see WestJet branding across key stadium locations, including the iconic WestJet Flight Deck, behind home plate, and throughout Spring Training at TD Ballpark in Dunedin, Florida. Additionally, WestJet will remain an iconic part of the Toronto Blue Jays fan experience by continuing to offer engaging in-game promotions for fans to win WestJet Rewards points, contests and opportunities for WestJet Rewards Members to unlock exclusive offers, unique experiences and benefits. 

“We are thrilled to renew our partnership with WestJet today for another seven years as we continue working together to bring Blue Jays fans from across Canada closer to the game they love,” said Mark Ditmars, Toronto Blue Jays Vice President, Partnerships.
