With eight World Series titles to their name, the San Francisco Giants sit tied for the fifth-most championships in MLB history. Still, it’s been over ten years since the orange and black last punched their ticket to the Fall Classic, and the Bay Area faithful are more than ready for another title run.
While NBC Sports Bay Area continues as the go-to TV home for local broadcasts, fans now have another way to stay locked in. Enter GIANTS.TV, a new subscription streaming platform born from a collaboration between MLB and NBC Sports Regional Networks. For added flexibility, NBC Sports Bay Area is also offered as part of Peacock’s add-on lineup, giving viewers multiple ways to follow every inning, highlight, and walk-off moment.
