San Diego Padres: Ways to Catch Padres Games this Spring

Looking for ways to see the San Diego Padres in action this spring? We detail each method fans can tune into all of the Cactus League action.

Spring baseball begins Saturday, as the San Diego Padres take on the Seattle Mariners in the exhibition opener. Cactus League takes place from the last few days in February and runs through the entirety of the month of March.

Fans will certainly want to tune in to as much of the action as possible. But unlike regular season games, spring training contests aren’t consistently aired on Fox Sports San Diego or any network.

Thankfully, there are ways to tune in to every Padres Cactus League game. It just takes a bit of work for fans to organize themselves so that they know how to watch or listen to every game.

In order to help fans achieve their viewing of each spring training game, we put together this guide, organizing the stations each game will be aired on.
