How the SF Giants would be impacted by MLB's planned takeover of local TV rights

San Francisco Giants television broadcasts could look incredibly different in the very near future.

For the vast majority of the 2,430 regular season MLB games, each team controls its local television rights and airs games on its home network. For the Giants, that has been NBC Sports Bay Area (and its previous iterations) for a few decades now.

But MLB controls the national television broadcast deals, which include some regular season games and the entire postseason. Earlier this offseason, MLB announced some reshaped national television deals, including Netflix broadcasting the Giants’ season-opener against the Yankees at Oracle Park on March 25, 2026.
