How to watch the San Francisco Giants in 2025: Schedule, broadcast info and blackout rules

How to watch the San Francisco Giants in 2025: Schedule, broadcast info and blackout rules
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


This year’s San Francisco Giants look competitive and compelling. Heliot Ramos and Mike Yastrzemski have both splashed balls into McCovey Cove in the last year, while Matt Chapman, Jung Hoo Lee and Wilmer Flores tout respectable power. Pitchers Logan Webb and Robbie Ray are holding things down atop the starting rotation, and fan engagement is unsurprisingly strong:

Nothing like it, indeed. But keeping up with nightly broadcasts in 2025 is needlessly difficult and overly complicated — from streaming restrictions and channel rotations to blackout rules within the local market. Here’s our best effort to make sense of it all, specifically for Giants fans. Make sure you’re following the team and the MLB for updates in your feed. Staff writer Grant Brisbee is our San Fran beat writer, offering consistent roundups and takeaways from each series.

How to stream regional San Francisco Giants broadcasts in-market

Fubo (try for free)

Fubo is a cable-cutting streaming platform that offers local and national channels, along with add-on sports packages. Any game on NBC Sports Bay Area, KNTV, ESPN, Fox, or MLB Network can be streamed here (more information on these networks is available below). TBS games cannot.

What you need to watch these games: The “pro” plan starts at $84.99 per month, with an additional charge for 4K Ultra HD. For more baseball, there is the MLB.TV add-on, which streams every out-of-market game for $29.99 a month, and the “sports lite” package (with MLB Network) for $9.99 a month.

NBC Sports Bay Area

The core broadcasters, Mike Krukow, Duane Kuiper, Dave Flemming and Jon Miller, each signed a multi-year extension this spring. Miller is best known for his work on ESPN games until 2010, and he is a current member of the Radio Hall of Fame. When it comes to TV, though, it’s about the two Ks: Krukow and Kuiper.

Krukow is a three-time California Sportscaster of the Year and won 20 games for San Francisco in 1986. His visage is featured at Oracle Park as part of the Giants Wall of Fame. Kuiper is in his 32nd consecutive season with NBC Sports Bay Area. A left-handed second baseman, Kuiper played the final four seasons of his pro career with SF.

Reliever Javier López, who won three World Series rings with the franchise, does select road games. He’s joined by postseason hero Hunter Pence, who is a natural in color commentary and analysis.

What you need to watch these games: Fubo, DirecTV Stream (starting $80-90 monthly), YouTube TV (starting at $82.99/month)

How to watch the regional broadcasts on cable or satellite

What you need to watch these games: A carrier in your territory that has NBC Sports Bay Area, like any of the following —

Astound
AT&T
Caltel Cablevision
DirecTV
Horizon Cable TV
Mediacom
Optimum
San Bruno Cable TV
Spectrum
Volcano Vision
Xfinity

Additionally, select games are available over-the-air on KNTV, the NBC sister station, which can be found on channel 11.

How to watch the regional broadcasts out-of-market

All Giants fans are encouraged — well, don’t be like Robert De Niro in “The Fan” (1996). Even with the team’s deep local roots and massive media market, a significant number of viewers are tuning in from beyond San Francisco’s designated territory. The MLB.TV package has these out-of-towners covered, with every regular-season inning from across the league (excluding national and in-market regional games). It costs $149.99 annually. Fubo offers the MLB.TV add-on for $29.99 a month.

Meanwhile, MLB Network airs almost 300 local broadcasts for national audiences, so you can catch some Giants games there. MLB Network also offers 26 unique, produced-in-house “showcase” games that are not subject to local blackouts.

What you need to watch these games: MLB Network for select games / MLB.TV for all of them

How to watch the national TV games

ESPN

The league has partnered with ESPN since 1990; that ends this fall. Yup, the purveyors of the iconic music are indeed opting out of their remaining baseball broadcasts. For this season, you’ll still find select primetime matchups here. Jon Sciambi (play-by-play for the Cubs) and Karl Ravech are usually on the mic, alongside five-time World Series winner David Cone and well-traveled utility hitter Eduardo Pérez. Generational baseball narrator Joe Buck returned to the booth for a memorable Opening Day affair, but he’s sticking with football now. For ESPN, think Sundays, especially “Sunday Night Baseball.”

Giants games on ESPN:

Sunday, June 15 at Los Angeles Dodgers

Fox/FS1

Fox is where you’ll hear Joe Davis (voice of the Dodgers, jeer as you wish), Jason Benetti (Tigers) or Adam Amin (the NBA’s Chicago Bulls) on the call. Retired Silver Slugger catcher A.J. Pierzynski, playoff bellwether Adam Wainwright, 1992 Rookie of the Year Eric Karros and Dontrelle Willis (aka the D-Train!) rotate in the booth. Three Hall-of-Famers are on this network. The studio pregame features Derek Jeter and David Ortiz, while John Smoltz does color commentary. The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal can be seen reporting from the field, too. Fox usually has a Saturday spot.

Giants games on Fox/FS1:

Monday, June 30 at Arizona Diamondbacks (FS1)
Saturday, August 30 vs. Baltimore Orioles
Saturday, September 6 at St. Louis Cardinals
Monday, September 8 vs. Arizona Diamondbacks (FS1)

TBS

TBS has the Tuesday action, with Brian Anderson (Brewers) and Ron Darling (Mets) as the mainstays. The pre- and post-game shows are stacked with 2007 NL MVP Jimmy Rollins, three-time All-Star Curtis Granderson and all-time great hurler Pedro Martínez. TBS games can also be streamed on Max. The playoff broadcasts add decorated and beloved former Giants manager Dusty Baker. Bob Costas was on the mic before his retirement last fall.

Giants games on TBS: none scheduled

Roku

The purple metropolis now has “MLB Sunday Leadoff” games free from blackout restrictions.

Giants games on Roku:

Sunday, July 13 vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
Sunday, July 20 at Toronto Blue Jays

Apple TV+

Like with Roku, you can stream more baseball games from your smart TV. Unlike Roku, the Apple TV+ games are regionally blacked out. Alex Faust (also of NHL and Jeopardy fame) is on these calls, as is Wayne Randazzo (Angels).

Giants games on Apple TV+: none scheduled

For national MLB games in general, think:

FS1 on Mondays
TBS on Tuesdays
Apple TV+ on Fridays
Fox on Saturdays
Roku on Sunday mornings
ESPN with “Sunday Night Baseball”
MLB Network just about every day
