The Cubs will make their first appearance Sunday on Roku as part of MLB’s package of early Sunday games. The game against the Cardinals is scheduled for 12:05 p.m. Peacock, NBC’s streaming service, had aired “MLB Sunday Leadoff” for two years before opting not to renew.
Fans can watch the game for free with no blackouts on a Roku device, The Roku Channel app on smart TVs, the website therokuchannel.com and the Roku mobile app. The game also will be available to MLB.TV and Extra Innings subscribers.
Roku is a free streaming platform with wider distribution than subscription-based Peacock.
