The Cubs hit the field for what should be a fascinating season under new manager David Ross starting Friday night at home against the Brewers. The first in a three-game series at Wrigley Field, it’s also the start of an intense three months in which each MLB team will play 60 games in 66 days.

The shortened 2020 season, which started Thursday night with the Yankees facing the Nationals, runs through Sept. 27 before a standard postseason. To limit travel, the Cubs will exclusively face teams from the NL Central and AL Central divisions, including a three-game series against the White Sox to wrap up the season.

Marquee Sports Network, which was supposed to take over Cubs local broadcasts in the spring, becomes the team’s new TV home now. There are also a series of nationally televised games, including two of the first three games against Milwaukee this weekend.

For Cubs fans looking to make sure they can watch all 60 games from the comfort of home this year, here’s a complete breakdown of the team’s TV schedule and how to tune in.

How can I get Marquee Sports Network?

With the Cubs’ move to Marquee, a partnership between the club and Sinclair Broadcast Group, this year, fans need to make sure they have a service that can access the network, either via cable or streaming.

There are many cable providers with Marquee, including AT&T U-Verse, DirecTV, RCN and Spectrum, which you can find listed here. Comcast, the area’s biggest provider, reached a last-minute deal to carry the channel.

If you’re not interested in signing up for cable, Hulu + Live TV, which currently costs $55 per month, offers access to Marquee.

The network even has a website set up right now pressuring the other big live streaming service, YouTube TV, to make a deal by telling fans to sign up for Hulu + Live TV instead. Both of those services already offer NBC Sports Chicago, which will air White Sox games this season.
