How to Watch
The 2026 Chicago Cubs turn up on national TV 11 times — FOX, FS1, TBS, and Apple TV+. Nearly every other game is on Marquee Sports Network, the Cubs' regional network, available in market on cable or through Marquee's streaming option.
All 162 Chicago Cubs games, mapped to the channel and streaming service that carries each. Enter your ZIP to calculate localized costs and viewing options.
Listed channels are included with each service and may be carrying a given game — check the schedule for the confirmed channel on any specific matchup.
How can I watch the Cubs without cable in Chicago?
Marquee Sports Network offers an in-market streaming option that carries the local Cubs games without a cable subscription, alongside live-TV services that include the channel. The national games on FOX, NBC, and ABC are also free over the air with an antenna.
How do I watch the Cubs if I live outside Chicago?
Use MLB.TV. Marquee Sports Network is in-market only, so you cannot get it elsewhere, but MLB.TV carries every out-of-market Cubs game live with no blackout. Inside the Chicago market, MLB.TV blacks the Cubs out, so the two services cover opposite areas.
How do I know if I'm in the Chicago Cubs TV territory?
If you live in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, or Wisconsin, you're probably inside it — that's where Marquee Sports Network carries the games and MLB.TV blacks them out, home or away. Territory lines follow ZIP codes, not state lines, so check your ZIP in the streaming calculator for the real answer.
What time do the Cubs play?
Many Cubs home games are day games around 1:20 PM CT, with night games around 6:40 PM CT and road games shifting by time zone. See the schedule above for the next game's exact first pitch.
