Frequently asked questions
What channel is the Cubs game on tonight?
It depends on the night. Chicago Cubs games on this page show the exact channel or stream for each one — upcoming games are carried by Marquee Sports Network, Peacock/NBCSN. Local games air on the in-market channel or club stream; national games move to Peacock/NBCSN.
What time do Cubs games start?
First pitch varies by day — weeknight Cubs games usually start in the evening and weekend games often start in the afternoon, local to the ballpark. Every game listed here shows its start time in US Eastern, and the full schedule converts times to your own time zone automatically.
How can I watch Chicago Cubs games without cable?
Live-TV streaming services (YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, DirecTV Stream, Sling) carry many of the channels that show Cubs games, national games stream on services like ESPN, Apple TV, Peacock and HBO Max depending on the package, and out-of-market Cubs games are available through MLB.TV. Tap the carrier next to any game on this page to go straight to it.
Are Chicago Cubs games blacked out on MLB.TV?
In the Cubs' home television territory, yes — MLB.TV is an out-of-market product: live out-of-market regular-season games are included, but games are blacked out in each club's home television territory, where they air on that club's in-market channel or stream instead. Nationally exclusive games (for example FOX Saturday games) are also blacked out on MLB.TV. Audio for all 30 clubs is blackout-free. As of 2026, ESPN sells and distributes MLB.TV, and it is also available through MLB's own platforms.
