Chicago Cubs Upcoming Events & Tickets

The 2026 Chicago Cubs season is set to begin with the franchise’s 155th year of competition, once again playing home games at iconic Wrigley Field as members of Major League Baseball’s National League Central. Chicago finished 92–70 in 2025, securing a Wild Card berth and advancing past the Padres before falling to the Milwaukee Brewers in the Division Series, and fans are hopeful the team can build on that success this year. The Cubs have been active in shaping their roster for the new campaign, including signing reliever Jacob Webb to bolster the bullpen and making a series of offseason roster moves while maintaining key players like dynamic hitter Michael Busch as central pieces of the lineup and looking to get injured stars healthy.

Heading into 2026, Chicago’s blend of established veterans and emerging talent brings increased optimism for another competitive season. The pitching rotation is projected to feature arms like Cade Horton and Matthew Boyd, with expectations that rehabbing starter Justin Steele will return midseason to strengthen the staff, even as the club continues to explore additional pitching options. Offensive contributors such as Busch, Nico Hoerner, Seiya Suzuki, and Pete Crow-Armstrong are expected to be focal points in the lineup as the Cubs aim for sustained success in the NL Central. With Spring Training underway and meaningful games on the horizon at Wrigley Field, the 2026 season promises plenty of excitement and a fresh opportunity for Chicago to chase postseason glory.
