San Francisco Giants, MLB release 2027 season schedule

The San Francisco Giants will begin the 2027 season against the Colorado Rockies at Oracle Park, according to Major League Baseball's tentative schedule released Thursday.

According to the league, the season opener is scheduled to take place on Thursday, March 25, the earliest Opening Day in league history. It will be the second consecutive year the Giants begin at home and only the fourth time since 2009 that the team starts the season in San Francisco.

Following an off day on Friday, March 26, the series against Colorado would conclude on Saturday, March 27 and Sunday, March 28. After facing the Rockies, the Giants will continue their season-opening homestand against the Arizona Diamondbacks with a three game series scheduled for March 29 through 31.

In March, the Giants opened the 2026 season at home against the New York Yankees, in an event billed as "MLB Opening Night" that was broadcast on Netflix. The Giants lost to the Bronx Bombers and were eventually swept.

The new schedule comes amid the possibility of a potential lockout if a new collective bargaining agreement isn't reached. The current agreement is set to expire on Dec. 1, with a proposed salary cap remaining a sticking point.
