Unless you have access to the new Marquee Sports Network, Cubs fans will start feeling TV withdrawal soon. Most Cubs spring games will be on the network co-owned by the club and Sinclair Broadcasting.

Starting with the Feb. 22 opener against the Athletics at Sloan Park, 28 spring games will be carried by Marquee. ESPN’s broadcast of the March 2 game vs. Joe Maddon and the Los Angeles Angels is the only non-Marquee matchup.

WSCR-AM 670 will carry 10 spring games.

The #Cubs today announced the 2020 #SpringTraining broadcast schedule.

Also, the White Sox announced 161 of 162 regular-season games will be carried by NBC Sports Chicago. Fox will broadcast MLB’s Field of Dreams game on Aug. 13. The White Sox will face the Yankees in Dyersville, Iowa, the site of the 1989 movie “Field of Dreams.”

NBC Sports Chicago will broadcast all four Crosstown Classic games, July 7-8 at Guaranteed Rate Field and July 20-21 at Wrigley Field.

All 162 Sox games will be on WGN-AM 720.
