Marquee Sports Network lays out plans for 2025 season start
The regional sports network is the home of live Chicago Cubs games, and will offer a wide range of minor league games this season as well.
The 2025 MLB season is beginning in just one week. The season begins with a two-game series between the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs in Tokyo, Japan. The games will be available to stream on Marquee Sports Network, which has announced plans for the early part of the 2025 season as it gears up for another year of Cubs broadcasts.
Key Details:
- Marquee will stream several key games to start the 2025 Cubs season.
- More than 50 games from Cubs minor-league affiliates will also be available on Marquee.
- The Marquee Sports Network app has a host of great features to improve the fan experience.
The Cubs’ season begins on March 18 with the two-game set against the Dodgers in Tokyo. In addition to those games, Marquee will also stream two exhibition matches between the Cubs and local Japanese teams; the Cubs play the Hanshin Tigers at 11 p.m. ET on March 14, and the Yomiuri Giants at 6 a.m. ET on March 16.
When the team returns stateside, Marquee will also offer its series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on March 27, the team’s trip to West Sacramento to visit the [Oakland Athletics] on March 31, and the Cubs’ home opener on April 4 against the San Diego Padres. All regular-season games not appearing on national TV channels like ESPN, FS1, and TBS will be available on Marquee and its associated streaming app.
A total of 54 games from minor-league affiliates of the Cubs will also be shown on Marquee this season, including 0 from the Iowa Cubs, 10 from the Double-A Knoxville Smokies, 11 from the Single-A South Bend Cubs and 13 from the Single-A Myrtle Beach Pelicans.
Fans who have Marquee Sports Network as part of their pay-TV subscription can watch the team via the Marquee Sports Network app at no additional cost. If you don’t have a pay-TV plan, you can sign up to stream the Marquee Sports Network app for $20 per month and get access to the same content at a lower monthly price than cable or live TV streaming.
The Marquee Sports Network app includes a range of fan-friendly features, including a start-from-the-beginning option that lets you start a game from the first inning if you join a broadcast late. “Cubs Pregame Live” and “Cubs Postgame Live” are available before and after each Marquee broadcast, giving fans all the details and analysis about the team and its progress through the season they could ask for.
