In this story:


The San Francisco Giants are used to playing on the same team. For the next couple of weeks, many of them will play against one another in the World Baseball Classic.

The 2026 tournament begins later this week, and nine Giants are expected to play for their respective countries in the tournament. For the next week, participants will be in pool play action, where five teams will play one another in a round robin format. The top two teams in each pool will advance out of pool play and into quarterfinal action, which is single elimination.

Pool play action is taking place around the world, with sites in the United States in Miami and Houston, and overseas in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Tokyo, Japan.

That means that for fans who want to follow their favorite Giants players in the WBC, they will need a television schedule. Fortunately, all but a few of the games are on the Fox family of networks, including FOX, FS1, FS2, FOX Deportes, the Fox Sports App and Tubi. Plus, 41 out of the 47 contests will air in Spanish across a combination of FOX Deportes, the FOX Sports App, Tubi and FOX One.

Giants players start action in the WBC on Thursday when Jung Hoo Lee and Korea open the tournament in Asia. Here is the complete schedule for the nine Giants who will play in the WBC, with game times (eastern) and television designations.
