Where to watch Tony Vitello's MLB opening day debut with San Francisco versus the Yankees.

Opening day for the 2026 Major League Baseball season will be held Wednesday. One game will be contested between San Francisco and the Yankees. First pitch between the Giants and New York is slated for 8:05 p.

m. EDT and can be watched on Netflix. Wednesday will mark the first regular-season game for Tony Vitello as San Franciscoโ€™s manager.

He is the 40th manager all time for the Giants. Vitello served as Tennessee's head coach from 2018-25 and compiled a 341โ€“131 (125โ€“85 SEC) record. He guided the Vols to a 2024 national championship, two SEC Tournament titles (2022, 2024), two SEC regular season championships (2022, 2024) and three College World Series appearances (2021, 2023-24).

"If you talk about risk, it kind of sounds like you can lose it all if it doesn't go well," Vitello said when he was introduced as San Francisco's manager. "To me, this was more about a challenge. No matter how each day goes, and again to beat up the theme, I am very well aware there's a higher sample size, so therefore more days, regardless of how it goes, are you willing to meet the challenge?
