Here Is Where You Can (And Can’t) Watch the Cubs…So Far

(As the official Cubs hype video suggests, one of the few places to actually watch the Cubs is inside Wrigley Field).

All eyes on are baseball this time of year with the first spring training games slated for Saturday, but where exactly will the eyes of Cubs fans be focused!?

Since the Cubs have taken away a majority of television rights from outlets not owned by themselves, the Marquee Network is the only place you can watch Cubs games.

OK, so how can I watch the Marquee network?

Well a few different ways, but NOT the most important one.

The Cubs just announced a deal that will add Marquee to the list of channels on “Hulu + Live TV.” Not everyone with Hulu will have access though. You can only watch Cubs games if you are a subscriber to Hulu’s live television service known as “Hulu + Live TV” which is about $55 per month.

The one big, GIANT name NOT on that list is Comcast. Comcast provides television for about half of the Chicagoland area, and an agreement between Comcast and Marquee has not been reached as of the time of this blog post.

So here’s the bottom line of all the places you CAN watch Cubs games this year.
