Where to watch the Mets game today vs the Cubs (4/17): FREE MLB live stream
The New York Mets face the Chicago Cubs today at Wrigley Field for game one in a three-game series in Chicago, Illinois.
www.nj.comHere are the best options to watch the Mets game today, depending on your location and whether you want local or out-of-market options:
-
Local/nearby viewers (in-market): Check your regional sports networks. In Chicago, your options would typically be MLB games aired on national streams or out-of-market feeds, since the Mets are not in your local market. If the game is being carried by a local Mets affiliate, it would appear on SNY in many markets, but not typically in Chicago. You can confirm local listings today via your cable box guide or the Mets’ official broadcast info.
-
National/streaming options:
- MLB.TV: Live out-of-market games with blackout restrictions in effect in some regions. This is a common way to watch Mets games when you’re outside the local market.[3]
- FuboTV or DirecTV Stream: Some services offer free trials that include access to MLB games, depending on regional availability and current promotions.[3]
- Other streaming: MLB.TV is often your most straightforward out-of-market option; check for current promos or trials on DirecTV Stream or similar services.[2][3]
If you tell me your exact location (ZIP or neighborhood) and whether you want local, national, or streaming-only options, I can give a tailored recommendation with the most likely channels and any available trials or blackout notes.
