How to watch the Cubs vs. Padres in the Wild Card Series

MLB released the wild-card series schedule, placing the first two games for the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox on Peacock and NBC Sports Network. This decision has frustrated fans who lack access to these platforms. In contrast, the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry and the Phillies-Braves series were granted prime-time and afternoon slots on over-the-air NBC. These best-of-three wild-card series are scheduled to take place from Tuesday through Thursday, prioritizing specific high-profile matchups for national broadcast.
