Exclusive: Marquee Sports Network Now Available on Prime Video

Cubs fans may have lost the ability to watch Marquee Sports Network for free over the air, but they’ll have a new way to catch the channel this season. Right now, you can sign up for Marquee Sports Network through Prime Video.

Marquee Sports Network broadcasts all regular season Cubs games, excluding select games chosen for exclusive national broadcasts. Marquee also airs the majority of Spring Training games.

While Marquee is primarily used to watch the Cubs, subscribers can also watch Loyola volleyball and basketball, ISU women’s basketball, DePaul men’s soccer, NIU hockey, Iowa high school football, and Chicago-area high school basketball and hockey.

While this change is relatively minor (and positive), other teams are dealing with outright chaos. The collapse of FanDuel Sports Network means all those teams are scrambling to line up new broadcast plans. The Braves chose to launch their own TV Network, while most teams have simply partnered with MLB to carry their games.

Another big change: MLB.TV is now available exclusively through ESPN’s app. Users will get one month of ESPN Unlimited free, but they’ll need to cancel before that month is up or they’ll be charged.

A new streamer, MLB+, offers standalone access to MLB Network.

Netflix will host some Opening Day games, the Home Run Derby, and the Field of Dreams game.

NBC takes Sunday Night Baseball broadcasts away from ESPN. Some games will appear on Peacock and the newly revived NBC Sports Network when there’s a scheduling conflict with other sports on NBC.

Peacock is also home to the Sunday Leadoff game – a slate of 18 games that begin around noon.

Peacock also gets a “game of the day,” which will be available to fans outside the markets of the clubs competing.

ESPN will have a national midweek game package throughout the season.

FOX/FS1 will continue to host the All-Star Game and regular season games, as well as the World Series, League Championship Series and Division Series. 

TBS still has LCS and Division Series telecasts, plus regular season games on Tuesday nights. Those games will be available on ad-free HBO Max.

Apple TV will continue to stream “Friday Night Baseball” doubleheaders throughout the regular season.
