Where to – The New York Mets host the Chicago Cubs tonight, June 25, at Citi Field with first pitch set for 7:10 p.m. ET. The game is on WPIX, streams for some fans on DIRECTV (free trial), and is available out of market on MLB.TV, subject to blackout rules.
The Mets and Cubs hit the field again tonight, June 25, with the series drawing a close at Citi Field in Flushing, New York.
First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET, and fans will have multiple ways to follow along depending on where they live. New York viewers can watch the game on WPIX, the local TV option for tonight’s matchup.
For those streaming, DIRECTV offers the live feed with a free trial. DIRECTV can be an easy way in for cord-cutters who want the game at home without hunting for a local broadcast. DIRECTV is listed as available for streaming live, with the note that free trials apply.
Out-of-market fans have another path: MLB.TV will carry the game as well, streaming it live or on demand. Blackout restrictions may apply for some regular-season games, a familiar catch that can still affect availability depending on location.
Tonight’s essentials are straightforward: the date is Thursday, June 25, 2026; the matchup is the New York Mets versus the Chicago Cubs; and the venue is Citi Field in Flushing, New York.
After tonight, the schedule shifts quickly. The Cubs are set to play again on Friday, June 26, against the Milwaukee Brewers. That continues on June 27 and June 28, with Milwaukee listed as the opponent for both dates.
The Mets’ next step is also on Friday, June 26, when they’re scheduled to take on the Philadelphia Phillies. New York’s slate then shows additional games on June 27 and June 28, again against Philadelphia.
For tonight’s game, the key viewing line is the combination of WPIX and a DIRECTV free trial, with MLB.TV as the out-of-market option—just remember the potential for blackout restrictions in the regular season.

So it’s on WPIX but only in New York right? Pretty dumb.
DIRECTV free trial huh… I swear they always hide the part where it won’t work for you. MLB.TV blackout is still a scam too. Like why even have it.
Wait MLB.TV won’t show it if you live too close?? That’s why I stopped paying. But also WPIX is always messing up the feed on my TV, like buffering for no reason. Mets-Cubs at 7:10 though, so I’ll probably just stream it somewhere sketchy and pretend it’s fine.
I don’t get how the blackout rules work like at all. If I’m out of market then it’s on MLB.TV… but if I’m in market it’s WPIX. So basically it’s always “no” depending on where you are, cool cool. Also my cousin said the next game is Brewers on the 26th so maybe the Mets are off? idk, I just saw the words Milwaukee and got excited.
