Common questions
What TV channel is the Padres game on today?
Most San Diego Padres games air on Padres.TV, the team's regional broadcaster, with national games on ESPN, ABC, ESPN2, and FOX. For the rest of the season, the How to Watch section above breaks down every channel and service that carries San Diego Padres games.
What is Padres.TV and do I need cable for it?
Padres.TV is the team's direct-to-consumer stream, run by MLB. You can subscribe to it on its own with no cable, and unlike a regional cable app it works in any market, not just the team's home area. It carries the local Padres broadcasts that used to be on the RSN.
How do I watch the Padres if I live outside San Diego?
Padres.TV works in any market, so you can subscribe to it from anywhere to follow the Padres, which a regional cable app would not allow. MLB.TV is the other option and carries every out-of-market game. The one catch is local blackouts: if you are physically inside a team's home territory, that team's games can be blacked out on either service.
How do I know if I'm in the San Diego Padres TV territory?
If you live in Arizona, California, Hawaii, or New Mexico, you're probably inside it — that's where Padres.TV carries the games and MLB.TV blacks them out, home or away. Territory lines follow ZIP codes, not state lines, so check your ZIP in the streaming calculator for the real answer.
What time do the Padres play?
Most Padres home games start around 6:40 PM PT, with day games near 1:10 PM PT and road games shifting by time zone. See the schedule above for the next game's exact first pitch.
