MLB released team schedules for 2026 on Tuesday and the SF Giants will be playing the very first game of the 2026 season against the New York Yankees. They will also be opening the season at home which is a rarity.
Since 2010, the Giants have only had Opening Day at Oracle Park once back in 2022. This was after an acrimonious strike between MLB and the MLB Players Association delayed the start of the regular season as they negotiated a new collective bargaining agreement. It was an exciting game as the Giants won in walk-off fashion in the 10th inning as Duane Kuiper threw down his legendary, "Ruf is on the move" call.
