The San Diego Padres visit the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday 5 May 2026 at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California for an MLB regular season fixture. First pitch time and broadcast details are confirmed closer to game day.
Major League Baseball is split evenly between the American League and the National League, each divided into East, Central, and West divisions of five teams. Clubs play a 162-game regular season from late March through late September, followed by the MLB Postseason: a Wild Card round, Division Series, League Championship Series, and the World Series in October. Regular season meetings feed into divisional standings and the tiebreakers used to set the six playoff seeds in each league.
The San Francisco Giants play their home games at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, and compete in Major League Baseball. The San Diego Padres play their home games at Petco Park in San Diego, California.
Both clubs play in the NL West Division, so their regular season meetings feed directly into divisional standings and tiebreakers used when setting the final postseason seedings.
How to watch: MLB regular season games are broadcast in the United States across regional sports networks for each club, with national coverage on ESPN, Fox, FS1, TBS, MLB Network, Apple TV+ (Friday Night Baseball), and Peacock (Sunday morning games). International viewers can subscribe to MLB.tv for live and on-demand coverage of every out-of-market game.
