The Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers meet a second consecutive year in the National League Championship Series. TBS will broadcast each NLCS game as they hold exclusive television rights for the NL playoffs this year.
Brian Anderson is handling play-by-play, and he’s joined by analyst Ron Darling and reporter Sam Ryan. In addition to watching on TV, those who wish to tune in during the NLCS can do so via an online stream through Watch TBS Live.
However, it will require viewers to sign in through their cable provider service. Another option is streaming through MLB.TV, which is carrying all NLCS games and the World Series in its entirety. That requires a subscription to the service, priced at $24.99 for the postseason.
For cord-cutters, Sling TV and PlayStation Vue make for prime alternatives at an affordable cost.
Both Sling TV and Vue have packages that include TBS without blackout restrictions, and each is streaming all NLCS games live.
First pitch in Game 1 of the NLCS is set for 5:08 p.m. PT on Saturday. Dodger Stadium will also host Game 2, beginning at 4:38 p.m. on Sunday.
The series then shifts to Wrigley Field for Games 3 and 4, and if necessary a Game 5. If the NLCS extends beyond that point, it returns to Dodger Stadium for Game 6 and/or 7. For pre- and postgame coverage throughout the playoffs, the Dodgers are streaming SportsNet LA and Dodger Insider on Facebook Live.
