Upcoming San Francisco Giants dates
Dates and live ticket listings appear here as soon as they are on sale. The guide below covers what to know before you buy.
Your Oracle Park seat: decide on warmth before view
The best value for most San Francisco Giants games is the View Level, the 300-section upper deck at Oracle Park, where the seats look out over San Francisco Bay. If you want comfort on a cold night, pay for the Club Level (the 200s), whose indoor concourse lets you warm up between innings. If you want to be close, buy lower box seats in the stretch between the two dugouts.
Weather is the factor visitors underestimate. The park is right on the water, and bright sun at first pitch often gives way to fog and cold by the fifth inning, July included. Decide first whether you are going to a day game or a night game, then pick a level.
- Best value: View Level, ideally behind the plate.
- Warmest option: Club Level, with indoor access.
- Most character: the Arcade, above the right field wall.
- Skyline view: the left field bleachers.
Promenade, Club and View Level, plus the Field Club
Wikipedia lists capacity at 41,331. The levels stack like this:
- Field Club: the seats closest to the field.
- Promenade Level (100s): the main concourse and the lower bowl.
- Club Level (200s): a middle tier with an indoor concourse.
- Suite level.
- View Level (300s): the upper deck, named for what you see from it.
Ballparks of Baseball puts the Giants on the third base side; check the team's seat map before you pay extra to sit behind the home dugout. The grandstand looks toward the bay, while the bleachers look back at the city skyline, so the side of the park you choose decides which postcard you get.
The Arcade, the bleachers and Triples Alley
The Arcade
A few rows of seats run along the top of the brick archways in the right field wall, directly above McCovey Cove. They are near the field and unlike anything else in baseball. The catch is the angle: you look sideways at home plate, and the right field line is just 309 feet long, so the play happens below and to your left.
The bleachers
Beyond the left field fence, with the skyline in front of you and the Fan Lot's oversized Coca-Cola bottle and baseball glove behind. A good pick for a relaxed afternoon.
Triples Alley
Right-center field stretches to 415 feet. Outfield seats in that area are a long way from the infield, which makes them a poor fit if you want to watch pitch location.
For any seat down the lines, use the team's 3D seating map to preview the view before buying. Ballparks of Baseball also notes a screened fence in right field where people without tickets can watch, which is a reminder of how close the outside world sits to the field here.
Dressing for bay wind and fog
Engineers shaped Oracle Park to cut wind to about half of what fans faced at Candlestick Park, but Wikipedia notes that cold fog and summer chill remain common.
- Night games: bring a jacket and a hat, even in July and August.
- Day games: the easier choice for families and visitors who packed for California rather than for San Francisco.
- Club Level: the indoor concourse is the best escape from a cold wind.
- Sunscreen: pack a plastic bottle; aerosol cans are not allowed in.
Dodgers series and the long Oracle Park sellout era
Every MLB club plays 162 games, 81 at home, after a February and March spring training. San Francisco's home dates run from late March or early April to late September, with the All-Star break in mid-July. Under MLB's balanced schedule, used since 2023, the Giants play each NL West opponent 13 times.
- Los Angeles Dodgers. Wikipedia ranks this among the longest-running rivalries in American sports, and it produces the hardest regular-season ticket at Oracle Park.
- Opening Day, one of the most requested dates on the calendar.
- June through August weekends, when tourism peaks.
- Giveaway and heritage nights on the club's promotions calendar.
Demand here has a track record: Oracle Park sold out 530 straight games from October 1, 2010, to July 18, 2017, the second-longest run in MLB history. The Giants' own site also lists the ballpark as host of the 2028 All-Star Game. For the most choice, look at weeknights in April, May and September.
Muni to 2nd and King, ferries, lots and bags
Oracle Park, at 24 Willie Mays Plaza in South Beach, is easy to reach without a car.
- Muni Metro: the 2nd and King stop is right outside.
- Caltrain: 4th and King is about a block and a half away, with trains from the Peninsula and South Bay.
- BART: get off at Embarcadero and switch to Muni Metro.
- Ferry: boats land at the Marina Gate behind center field.
- Driving: lots fill on game days. As of the 2026 season, informal tailgating around your vehicle is allowed in Lots A and C, but not at Pier 48, Pier 30/32 or One Bryant.
Mission Rock, a new neighborhood, is rising on Lot A, and its game day spaces are moving into a parking structure; see the Giants transportation page for which lots are open.
As of the 2026 season, bags must be smaller than 16 by 16 by 8 inches but do not have to be clear. No backpacks of any kind, even clear, with exceptions for diaper, medical and accessibility bags. A soft cooler gets in; a hard one does not. If you arrive with something too big, the Marina Gate rents storage space. The permitted items list has the details. Every Reserved Seat order carries a 100% guarantee.
From the Gothams to McCovey Cove
Founded as the New York Gothams in 1883, the club relocated to San Francisco in 1958, playing at Seals Stadium for two seasons and Candlestick Park from 1960 to 1999. It joined the NL West in 1969. Across both cities it has 23 National League pennants, nine NL West titles and eight World Series crowns: 1905, 1921, 1922, 1933 and 1954 in New York, and 2010, 2012 and 2014 in San Francisco, three titles in five seasons.
Oracle Park opened on March 31, 2000, as Pacific Bell Park, then carried the SBC Park and AT&T Park names before becoming Oracle Park in 2019. It was the first MLB park built without public money since Dodger Stadium in 1962.
- 2007 All-Star Game: a ball off the right field archways became Ichiro Suzuki's inside-the-park homer, the first ever in an All-Star Game.
- Splash hits: as of August 2026, 110 Giants home runs had cleared the wall and landed in McCovey Cove, and Barry Bonds hit 35 of them.
- The right field wall stands 24 feet tall, for Willie Mays's number.
- San Francisco greats: Bonds, Cepeda, Marichal, McCovey and Mays.
- Retired numbers include 24, 44, 25, 27, 30, 36 (Gaylord Perry), 22 (Will Clark) and 21 (Jeff Kent), along with New York-era honorees.
