where to watch milwaukee brewers vs chicago cubs

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

Main ways to watch

  • Brewers.TV (in the Milwaukee area)
    • Brewers.TV lets fans in the Brewers’ home TV territory stream games without local blackouts if they buy the dedicated Brewers.TV package or the Brewers.TV + MLB.TV bundle.
* A standard “MLB.TV All Teams” subscription **does not** unlock Brewers games in the Milwaukee area; you need the specific Brewers.TV product.
  • MLB.TV (out-of-market)
    • If you live outside both teams’ home territories, regular‑season Brewers–Cubs games are often available live on MLB.TV (subject to occasional national exclusivity).
  • Local / regional sports networks
    • In and around Chicago, Cubs games are carried by Marquee Sports Network, which can be streamed via its own app or participating TV providers.
* In Wisconsin and the Brewers’ region, games are carried on the Brewers’ regional TV partner and mirrored into the Brewers.TV streaming product.
  • National TV and streaming (big matchups / playoffs)
    • When Brewers vs. Cubs is picked up nationally (for example, playoff games in the NLDS), games may air on channels like TBS or truTV and stream through live‑TV services such as DIRECTV and Sling TV that carry those channels.
* These services sometimes promote free trials around marquee games, effectively giving you a short‑term way to watch without long‑term contracts.
