MLB Opening Night on March 25, 2026 features the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park.

For the opening day game, MLB Network’s Matt Vasgersian led the play-by-play announcing, accompanied in the broadcast booth by former Yankee CC Sabathia and former Giant Hunter Pence.

The pre-game, mid-inning, and post-game analysis was hosted by Elle Duncan, who was joined by an incredible lineup of baseball royalty, including seven-time NL MVP Barry Bonds, three-time MVP Albert Pujols, and Anthony Rizzo.

The broadcast team for the next events has not yet been released, but it might be safe to assume that we will see some of those faces making an appearance yet again.
