Another MLB season has arrived, and you don’t need an expensive cable package to watch your favorite team. This guide will let you know which streaming services you can use to watch the Chicago White Sox without cable.
Which Channels Show Chicago White Sox Games?
This depends on where you live. If you live in the Chicago White Sox market, games are primarily broadcast on NBC Sports Chicago, the regional sports network for the White Sox. DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, or YouTube TV currently offer NBC Sports Chicago in their channel lineups.
