ESPN to televise several early Cubs games in 2020 |
ESPN announced Thursday that they will be televising two of the first four Chicago Cubs games of 2020.
The first 'Sunday Night Baseball' game will be Cubs vs. Brewers at 6 p.m. CT on March 29 at Miller Park. The following day, the sports channel will air the Cubs home opener at 3:10 p.m. CT on March 30 against the Pirates. If I had to guess, the Cubs-Cardinals game on April 12 will probably be a 'Sunday Night Baseball' selection but they have not announced that week's selection yet. Hopefully, this helps Cubs fans starved for information as the regular season will be here before you know it. Here is ESPN's MLB 2020 season-opening schedule, per release: Thu, Mar. 26 1 p.m. Washington Nationals at New York Mets 4 p.m. San Francisco Giants at Los Angeles Dodgers 7 p.m. MLB Opening Night: Los Angeles Angels at Houston Astros Sun, Mar. 29 4 p.m. Minnesota Twins at Oakland Athletics 7 p.m. Sunday Night Baseball presented by Taco Bell: Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee Brewers Mon, Mar. 30 1 p.m. Kansas City Royals at Detroit Tigers 4 p.m. Pittsburgh Pirates at Chicago Cubs 7 p.m. Monday Night Baseball: New York Yankees at Tampa Bay Rays 10 p.m. Houston Astros at Oakland Athletics Tue, Mar. 31 7 p.m. Philadelphia Phillies at New York Mets Thu, Apr. 2 1 p.m. New York Mets at Washington Nationals Sun, Apr. 5 8:30 p.m. Sunday Night Baseball presented by Taco Bell: Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants Mon, Apr. 6 7 p.m. Tampa Bay Rays at Boston Red Sox Tue, Apr. 7 7 p.m. New York Mets at Houston Astros
