Friar Faithfuls, dust off the old Padres gear — or if you’re feeling lucky, keep it put away, because the San Diego Padres are gearing up for another baseball season. On Monday, the team announced their 2026 promotional schedule including giveaways, theme games, and events for each homestand.
Single-game tickets for the 2026 regular season home games will go on sale starting Feb. 3 at 10 a.m. PT. Friar Faithfuls who are Season Ticket Members will have priority access to tickets the best seats.
Due to the highest demand on record for this franchise, Season Ticket Memberships have sold out for the fourth-consecutive season, so only single-game tickets for the 2026 season are available, according to Vanessa Dominguez, Director of Business Communications with the San Diego Padres.
