TL;DR: Live stream Chicago Cubs vs. Los Angeles Dodgers on Sling TV.


The Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers will meet this week for two highly anticipated matchups in the MLB Tokyo Series, which marks the start of the 2025 regular season.

All eyes are on the Cubs and Dodgers — two teams with decades-long cult followings. The Dodgers have really been in the spotlight since Japanese player Shohei Ohtani signed a record-breaking contract with the team back in 2023. Rōki Sasaki just joined the Dodgers in January, and fans are eager to see both Japanese natives play in their home country.
