Marquette Network blocking Cubs games on Dirctv streaming.

Why are the Cubs games being blocked on my Direct TV streaming. I live in Maine, well out of network. The spring training games were shown on the channel but now the regular season is being blocked by the broadcast.

Spring training is not the same as regular season. If you don't live in the team's market----you can't watch unless you sub to MLB.tv separately (or MLB extra innings separately). I'm assuming you have the Sports Pak if you were able to watch Spring training games. Sports Pak doesn't buy you access to regular season games---and never has.

Thank you, is this new for this year or just for the Directv streaming? I do have the sports package.  I was able to watch regular season games last year when I had the Directv box but moved to the streaming service this year.

It's been like this for decades since it was only Dtv Satellite. If you were able to watch other market teams in the past that was obviously on ESPN, FS1, FOX network......otherwise--no you weren't able to watch out of market games with the Sports Pak unless it was Spring Training.
