The 2015 Toronto Blue Jays season was the 39th season for the franchise, and the 26th full season of play (27th overall) at Rogers Centre.
The Blue Jays clinched a playoff berth on September 25, their first since 1993, ending what was the longest playoff drought in North American professional sports at the time. On September 30, the team clinched the American League East and opened the playoffs by defeating the Texas Rangers in five games, in the ALDS. The Blue Jays were eliminated in a playoff series for the first time since 1991, losing to the eventual World Series champion Kansas City Royals in six games, in the ALCS.
This was the fourth time in franchise history in which the Toronto Blue Jays were eliminated by the eventual World Series champions, after previously having been eliminated in 1985 by the Kansas City Royals, in 1989 by the Oakland Athletics, and in 1991 by the Minnesota Twins.
