It’s time for the three Bs: brats, beer, and baseball. This summer’s season is packed full of games and events. From fun initiatives like giveaways and heritage celebrations, the summer is just heating up for the Padres.

About the team

The Padres made their major league debut on April 8, 1969, in front of 23,370 fans. In 2022, we won the National League Division Series — you know, against the rival LA Dodgers on that historic, rainy, October night at Petco Park (we’re not crying, you’re crying).

Today, the team plays at Petco Park in downtown’s “ballpark district” — 26 blocks bordered by Market Street, Harbor Drive, and Imperial Avenue.

Upcoming games

On Tuesday, July 4, we’ll be defending our home turf against the Angels at 3:40 p.m. Grab your tickets now and receive a limited-edition Padres-themed hat to celebrate Independence Day.
