How to Watch Cubs vs. Tigers: Streaming Guide for the Big Weekend Series
If you’re a fan of the Detroit Tigers or the Chicago Cubs, this weekend is shaping up to be one of the most exciting matchups of the MLB season so far. With both teams leading their divisions—Detroit at the top of the AL Central with a 41-23 record and the Cubs just behind at 39-23 in the NL Central—this three-game series at Comerica Park is a must-watch. But before you get too comfortable on your couch, here’s the catch: the way you watch this series is a little different, and you’ll want to plan ahead.
Let’s start with Friday night’s game, June 6. First pitch is at 7:10 p.m. ET, but you won’t find it on your regular cable channels. It’s available exclusively on Apple TV+. That means if you’re used to flipping through your local sports networks, you’ll need to make a quick pivot. You’ll need either a smart TV with the Apple TV app, a computer, tablet, or phone, and a subscription to Apple TV+. There's no traditional broadcast, so don’t waste time hunting through your remote. However, for those who prefer to listen to the game, good news: you can still tune in on the radio at WXYT-FM 97.1.

For Saturday and Sunday, things go back to a more familiar setup. Saturday’s game kicks off at 1:10 p.m. ET, and Sunday’s at 1:40 p.m. ET. Both games will be shown locally on FanDuel Sports Network Detroit. For those outside the market, Saturday’s game will also be available on MLB Network. You can stream both weekend games using the FanDuel Sports Network app, again with radio coverage continuing on 97.1 FM.
Looking at the pitching matchups, Friday will feature Detroit’s ace Tarik Skubal—fresh off a stellar start to the season—facing Cubs right-hander Ben Brown. Saturday sees Keider Montero take the mound for the Tigers against Jameson Taillon of the Cubs, while Sunday wraps up with Jack Flaherty vs. Cade Horton. These are some compelling pitching duels, and with both teams riding hot streaks—Detroit winning 7 of their last 10, and Chicago 11 of their last 15—each game carries major momentum implications.
Friday night’s exclusivity on Apple TV+ is a bit of a curveball for fans used to regular TV coverage, but if you’re all set with streaming, you're in for a treat. The Tigers have been dominant at home this season (22-8), and the atmosphere at Comerica Park should be electric. With two division leaders squaring off, this is more than just a mid-season series—it could be a preview of something bigger in October.
So whether you’re streaming on Apple TV+, tuning in on FanDuel Sports Network, or catching the action on the radio, make sure you don’t miss this one. The Tigers and Cubs are about to light it up in Detroit.
