Watch White Sox Without Cable

Getty Yoan Moncada will lead the Chicago White Sox in 2020.

The Chicago White Sox will kick off their 2020 season with a three-game home series against the Minnesota Twins at Guaranteed Rate Field.

In 2020, almost all White Sox games will be televised in local markets on NBC Sports Chicago, while some will also be on Marquee Sports Network, and others will be nationally televised on either Fox, Fox Sports 1, ESPN or MLB Network. But if you don’t have cable, you can watch every White Sox game on your computer, phone, Roku, Firestick, Apple TV or other streaming device via one of the following streaming services:

You can sign up and start watching White Sox games via any of the above links, but here’s a more complete rundown of what each service includes:

Cheapest Option for In-Market Viewers: Hulu With Live TV

White Sox Channels Included: NBC Sports Chicago (local markets), Marquee Sports Network (local markets), Fox, Fox Sports 1 and ESPN

Price: $54.99 per month

For in-market viewers, Hulu With Live TV is the cheapest streaming service that includes NBC Sports Chicago or Marquee Sports Network. In other words, if you live in Chicago or a surrounding White Sox market, this is the cheapest way to watch every White Sox game without cable:

Get Hulu With Live TV

Once signed up, you can then watch White Sox games live on your computer via the Hulu website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Echo Show, or other streaming device via the Hulu app.

If you can’t watch a game live, Hulu With Live TV also comes with 50 hours of cloud DVR space, as well as the option to upgrade to “Enhanced Cloud DVR,” which gives you 200 hours of space and the ability to fast-forward through commercials.


In-Market Viewers: FuboTV

White Sox Channels Included: NBC Sports Chicago (local markets), Fox and Fox Sports 1 (ESPN being added on August 1)

Price: $59.99 per month (MLB Network and MLB Strike Zone included in “fubo Extra” add-on for $5.99 per month)

Though it comes in $5 per month more expensive than Hulu With Live TV, FuboTV comes with more total channels (95-plus vs. 65-plus) in its main bundle. In-market viewers can already watch most White Sox games via FuboTV, but once ESPN is added to the main package on August 1, it will likely stand as the best overall value.

Get FuboTV

Once signed up for FuboTV, you can watch White Sox games live on your computer via the FuboTV website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, or other supported device via the FuboTV app.

If you can’t watch live, FuboTV comes with 30 hours of cloud DVR space, as well as a 72-hour look-back feature, which will allow you to watch games on-demand within three days of their conclusion, even if you don’t record them.


In-Market Viewers: YouTube TV

White Sox Channels Included: NBC Sports Chicago (local markets), Fox, Fox Sports 1, ESPN and MLB Network

Price: $64.99 per month

YouTube TV is a good option for those who also want MLB Network. However, it’s $10 per month more than Hulu With Live TV, and it’s worth noting that any White Sox game that is televised nationally on MLB Network will be on locally on NBC Sports Chicago, so it’s not a necessary option for in-market viewers.

Get YouTube TV

Once signed up for YouTube TV, you can then watch White Sox games live on your computer via the YouTube website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, Xbox One, or other compatible streaming device via the YouTube app.

If you can’t watch live, YouTube TV comes with included DVR.


In-Market Viewers: AT&T TV Now

White Sox Channels Included: NBC Sports Chicago (local markets), Marquee Sports Network (local markets), Fox, Fox Sports 1 and ESPN

Price: $80 per month

AT&T TV Now (formerly DirecTV Now) offers six different channel bundles, but the cheapest of those that includes NBC Sports Chicago and Marquee Sports Network is the “Max” bundle, which comes in at $80 per month. That makes this the most expensive streaming service with NBCS Chicago. And if you want MLB Network, you’ll have to go up to the “Choice” bundle at a whopping $110 per month.

Get AT&T TV Now

Once signed up for AT&T TV Now, you can watch White Sox games live on your computer via the AT&T TV Now website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, or other compatible streaming device via the AT&T TV app.

If you can’t watch live, AT&T TV Now — no matter what channel package you choose — comes with included cloud DVR.


Out-of-Market Viewers: MLB.TV

If you live outside of the White Sox market, you can watch all out-of-market games via MLB.TV. If you just want to watch out-of-market White Sox games, it costs $49.99 for the season. If you want to be able to watch every out-of-market game, it costs either $24.99 per month or $59.99 for the season:

Get MLB.TV

Once signed up for MLB.TV, you can then watch out-of-market games on your computer via the MLB website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Xbox One, PS4 or other streaming device via the MLB TV app.

If you can’t watch live, you can watch full game archives of all 2020 games that don’t have local or national blackout restrictions.


Chicago White Sox 2020 Season Preview

The White Sox finished third in the AL Central last year with a 72-89 mark. This year, they’ll be looking to improve courtesy of several bright young stars in their lineup.

Third baseman Yoán Moncada could be in the starting lineup opening day, but there’s still a good chance he won’t be. Moncada has missed the bulk of summer camp for undisclosed reasons, and the Sox will need him healthy if they want to contend this season. The 25-year-old slugger had 25 home runs and 79 RBIs last year, and he finished with a .315 batting average.

Eloy Jimenez will also be one to watch. The 23-year-old left fielder out of the Dominican Republic hit 31 homers in 122 games during his rookie campaign last year, and he’s looking to build off his promising start. “I feel really good, much better this year,” Jimenez said in early July. “This is my second year, and I got the experience I needed last year. I think it will be a better year.”

As for pitching, the Sox signed Dallas Keuchel this offseason, and he figures to be one of the top two pitchers on the team. Keuchel joins Lucas Giolito, Gio Gonzalez, Reynaldo Lopez and Dylan Cease in the starting rotation. Michael Kopech, who is coming off Tommy John surgery, could also be a factor later in the season.

The White Sox will play 10 games apiece against the teams in their division this shortened season, which means they’ll be seeing a lot of the Twins, Indians, Royals and Tigers. The remaining 20 games on their schedule will be against National League teams, including six against the Chicago Cubs. The Sox will end their season this year with a three-game battle against the Cubbies.

Manager Rick Renteria thinks ending the year against his team’s crosstown rivals will be a fun way to close out the season. “I know that most of Chicago would like to see a crosstown World Series someday. Maybe this will be a little taste of it. But all I know is we see our crosstown rivals as just another team that we have to do the best we possibly can to defeat on a daily basis. If it happens to be for a slot in the postseason, even better.”

Here’s a look at the predicted lineup for the White Sox heading into the season:

1. Tim Anderson, SS
2. Luis Robert, CF
3. José Abreu, 1B
4. Edwin Encarnación, DH
5. Yasmani Grandal, C
6. Eloy Jiménez, LF
7. Nomar Mazara, RF
8. Danny Mendick, 3B

9. Leury García, 2B
