The Buffalo Bisons are a Minor League Baseball team of the International League (IL) and since 2013 have been the Triple-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays. They are located in Buffalo, New York, and play their home games at Sahlen Field, the highest-capacity Triple-A ballpark in the United States.

The current franchise was founded in 1979 and assumed the history of previous franchises that also used the Buffalo Bisons name, most notably the 1886-1970 Buffalo Bisons minor league franchise, and the 1879-85 Buffalo Bisons major league franchise.

Prior to 2013 the Bisons had Major League affiliations with the New York Mets (2009-12), Cleveland Indians (1983-84, 1987, 1995-2008), Pittsburgh Pirates (1979-82, 1988-94), and Chicago White Sox (1985-86).
