The Chicago Cubs return to AppleTV+ on Friday night as the team opens a three-game set against the Detroit Tigers. The weekend series with the Detroit Tigers could serve as a potential World Series preview. Both the Tigers and Cubs have emerged as two of the best teams in all of baseball, and there is no doubt that the series between the two teams this weekend will be one of the best of Major League Baseball's weekend slate.
The 2025 season marks year three for Apple TV+, with a prominent presence for Friday games. And, if AppleTV+ has its way, it could have an increased presence moving forward. With ESPN pivoting away from Major League Baseball coverage in the months ahead, AppleTV+ has emerged as a leading candidate to gain some additional rights.
Given that the Cubs haven't exactly been strangers to games on AppleTV+ over the last three years, fans should be familiar with how to access the game. While some Cubs fans have taken issue with the broadcast on AppleTV+, the visual presentation remains stunning as games are aired in 4K.

The only local broadcast for the Cubs will be on their flagship radio station, 670 The Score. Cubs fans will be able to listen to the call with Pat Hughes, Ron Coomer, and Zach Zaidman (Or, you can tune Zaidman out). A fun feature with AppleTV+, for fans who also want to watch the game but hear the Hall of Fame broadcaster, is that they allow you to sync the local radio calls with their broadcast.
