where to watch chicago cubs vs milwaukee brewers

You can usually watch Chicago Cubs vs Milwaukee Brewers games through a mix of regional sports networks, national TV partners, and legal streaming services, depending on your location and whether it’s a regular‑season or playoff matchup.

Main ways to watch

  • Regional sports networks (RSNs)
    • When the Cubs are the home team, games commonly air on Marquee Sports Network , the team’s dedicated channel, except when picked up for exclusive national broadcasts.
* When the Brewers are at home, games typically air on the Brewers’ regional network (for example, Bally/other local RSN as assigned in the schedule) unless a national network has exclusive rights.
  • National TV broadcasts
    • Select Cubs–Brewers matchups appear on ESPN, FOX, FS1, TBS, or MLB Network , especially Sunday night games, special rivalry slots, or postseason matchups like the NLDS.
* For playoff series (e.g., NLDS), games may air **only** on a national network such as **TBS** , meaning even local fans must use that national channel or a streaming service that carries it.
  • Live TV streaming services
    • Services such as Fubo and DirecTV Stream are frequently recommended because they carry many national MLB channels (ESPN, FOX, FS1, TBS, MLB Network) and often bundle access to MLB.tv for out‑of‑market games.
* Other mainstream live TV streamers (e.g., those listed on MLB TV schedule pages) may also carry the necessary national networks; the exact mix depends on the package and your ZIP code.
  • MLB.tv and out‑of‑market viewing
    • MLB.tv lets you stream Cubs vs Brewers games live if you are outside both teams’ home markets; local games are subject to blackouts, so in‑market fans need the RSN or a service that carries it.
* MLB.tv is often sold as a full‑league or single‑team subscription, and sometimes offered in trial form through live TV streaming bundles.
