So, You Wanna Watch the Cubs, Eh?
Let's talk baseball, Chicago style. Specifically, let’s talk about how to watch the Chicago Cubs, those lovable losers (just kidding, Cubbies fans, I’m mostly kidding).

| What Channel Do The Chicago Cubs Play On |
Marquee: Your New Best Friend (or Frenemy)
If you're lucky enough to live in the Chicago area, your go-to channel for Cubs games is Marquee Sports Network. It’s like the exclusive club you kinda want to be a part of. They've got all the games, all the drama, and all the between-inning shenanigans. But let's be real, it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack to figure out which channel it's on with different cable providers. Sigh.
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
National TV: When the Cubs Become America's Team (Sort Of)
Don't get too excited. The Cubs aren't the Yankees (thank goodness). But they do occasionally grace our screens on national TV. Keep an eye on FOX, FS1, ESPN, TBS, and MLB Network. It's like winning the lottery when this happens. But remember, these are the big games, so don't expect to see every doubleheader or rain delay.
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.

Streaming: For the Cord-Cutters and Out-of-Towners
If you've ditched cable like a true millennial (or just can't get Marquee), don't fret. MLB.TV is your streaming savior. It's like having a front-row seat to every game, no matter where you are. But there's a catch: blackouts. So, if you live in Cubs territory, you might be out of luck for those local games.
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
Other Options: Because Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures
- MLB At Bat: This app is great for audio broadcasts. It's like listening to a really detailed baseball novel.
- Apple TV+ and The Roku Channel: They occasionally stream games, but don't count on it. It's more like a surprise gift than a reliable source.
Remember: The beauty of baseball is that it’s a marathon, not a sprint. So, if you miss a game, don't stress. There will be another one tomorrow (unless it's a rainout, then you're just out of luck).
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
