How to watch Friday’s Cubs game for free on Apple TV+
Tonight’s Cubs at Diamondbacks game was picked up as an exclusive national broadcast on Apple TV+, meaning that the game will not be able to be aired on Marquee Sports Network (similar to when games are picked up for Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN).

To watch the game, Cubs fans can follow any of the following steps:
- Launch the Apple TV app and select the game directly from there
- From the MLB.TV app, tap on Apple TV+ Game to be redirected to the Apple TV app (where available)
- Visit https://tv.apple.com/ and log in with or create an Apple ID
