The Chicago Cubs play in Major League Baseball. Most regular-season Chicago Cubs games air on a regional sports network for in-market viewers, with select national windows on FOX, FS1, ESPN, TBS, MLB Network, Apple TV+ Friday Night Baseball, and Peacock Sunday Leadoff. Out-of-market fans use MLB.TV.
Most in-market Chicago Cubs games air on Marquee Sports Network (Chicago). Cord-cutters can stream Marquee Sports Network live on Fubo, which carries the network in-market — your home ZIP determines availability and Fubo confirms it at signup.

MLB broadcasts are dominated by regional sports networks — most Chicago Cubs games air locally through the team's RSN, distributed via cable and select streaming partners that carry that network. National windows air on FOX, FS1, ESPN, TBS, and MLB Network, with Apple TV+ Friday Night Baseball and Peacock Sunday Leadoff handling streaming-exclusive games each week.
Out-of-market fans subscribe to MLB.TV for every regular-season game (subject to local blackout rules). The provider filters above highlight which upcoming Chicago Cubs games are available on your existing subscriptions before you commit to another service.
The exact channel for today's the Chicago Cubs game is shown on the live game card above, pulled from the official MLB schedule.

Use the provider filters above to mark the streaming services and cable packages you already pay for — the schedule then highlights every upcoming Chicago Cubs game you can watch on your current plan. For games outside your local market, MLB.TV (every out-of-market regular-season game, subject to local blackout rules) fills the gap.
No. Live-TV streaming services like Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling, and DirecTV Stream carry most of the channels that broadcast Chicago Cubs games. The provider filters above will show which upcoming Chicago Cubs games are available on your current streaming setup.
MLB postseason games are national broadcasts, not regional ones — the Chicago Cubs’ regular-season regional sports network carries none of them. The round decides the channel, and as a National League team the Chicago Cubs run through NBC in the Wild Card round (new for 2026), then FOX or FS1 for the Division Series and the National League Championship Series, then FOX for the World Series. Without cable: Peacock streams the Wild Card round, and FOX One streams both National League rounds and the World Series. NBC and FOX are also free over the air with an antenna in most markets. Blackouts do not apply to postseason games.
