You and the Remote: A Frantic Search for the San Francisco Giants Broadcast
Ah, the age-old question that strikes fear into the heart of even the most seasoned baseball fan: Where in the world is the Giants game on?! Fear not, fellow Giants enthusiast, for I, your trusty (and hopefully humorous) guide, am here to navigate this channel-surfing labyrinth.
First things first: Are you a loyal citizen of the Bay Area?
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
-
Yes? Then rejoice! Crack open a frosty beverage and settle in for some Giants action on NBC Sports Bay Area (channel numbers will vary depending on your provider, but a quick Google search with "NBC Sports Bay Area + [Your Cable/Satellite Provider]" should point you in the right direction).
-
No? Don't fret, friend! There are still ways to catch the magic (and hopefully some dingers) from afar. Here's where things get a little more interesting, depending on the whims of the national broadcasting gods:
-
Is it a nationally televised game? Then you might find it on FOX, FS1, ESPN, TBS, MLB Network, or even Apple TV+. Consult your trusty TV guide or a website like MLB.com to be sure.
-
Nope, it's a local broadcast. This is where things get a tad tricky. Fear not, though! Technology is your friend:
- MLB.TV is your one-stop shop for streaming all things Giants (with some blackout restrictions, but hey, that's life).
- MLB Extra Innings might be another option, but check with your provider to see if they offer it.
-
