It’s not every day you see the Giants kick off and wrap up a season in San Francisco. In fact, it's only happened twice this millennium. But this year, the Giants are bringing the spotlight back to Oracle Park, and they're doing it in style.
The season opener is a marquee matchup against the New York Yankees, featuring none other than three-time MVP Aaron Judge. And as the season winds down, fans can expect fireworks with a showdown against Shohei Ohtani and the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers. These games are sure to pack Oracle Park to the rafters and promise some unforgettable baseball moments.
Let’s dive into six must-watch series for the Giants this season:
March 25-28 vs. New York Yankees
The Giants and Yankees take center stage on March 25, opening the 2026 season in a prime-time Netflix exclusive. Rookie manager Tony Vitello is thrown right into the deep end, facing a Yankees team led by Aaron Judge, who’s been a thorn in the Giants’ side. Judge’s previous performances at Oracle Park have been nothing short of spectacular, making this an Opening Day you won’t want to miss.
April 21-23 vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers roll into town with a star-studded lineup featuring Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and newcomer Kyle Tucker, whose record-breaking contract has set the league abuzz. Even with Clayton Kershaw retired, this Dodgers team might be the strongest we’ve seen in years. Giants fans will get their first glimpse of this powerhouse in what promises to be an electrifying series.
April 24-26 vs. Miami Marlins
The Giants will honor franchise legend Brandon Belt on April 25. Belt, a key figure in the Giants’ championship wins in 2012 and 2014, will be celebrated for his contributions both on and off the field. His memorable 18th-inning homer in the 2014 NLCS remains a highlight of his storied career with San Francisco.
July 6-8 vs. Toronto Blue Jays
The defending American League champions, led by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., come to town for a summer showdown. The Blue Jays have bolstered their roster with key signings, including pitcher Dylan Cease and former Giant Tyler Rogers. This series also marks a reunion for Giants hitting coach Hunter Mense, who previously worked with Toronto’s staff.
August 21-23 at Boston Red Sox
Rafael Devers returns to Fenway Park for the first time since his blockbuster trade to the Giants. While his departure from Boston was tumultuous, the Red Sox have since found success, and young talent Roman Anthony is emerging. Devers’ return will surely stir emotions, making this a series filled with intrigue.
August 27-30 vs. Arizona Diamondbacks
Jeff Kent’s summer will be unforgettable. Following his Hall of Fame induction, the Giants will retire his No. 21 jersey on August 29. Kent’s legacy as one of the greatest second basemen in history is cemented by his impressive stats and contributions to the Giants’ success during his tenure.
With a season packed full of high-stakes matchups and celebrations, Giants fans have plenty to look forward to. Oracle Park will be the place to be as San Francisco aims to make this a memorable year.
