You can watch Red Sox vs Cubs live on Fubo, which is live streaming all three games of the series this weekend. Just be sure to register an account before the action starts – it takes no time at all.

The All-Star break came at an inopportune time for the Red Sox, who enter the Wrigley Field series riding a 10-game winning streak. However, they're still only third in the AL East, trailing both the Blue Jays and the Yankees. With three victories from their past four – including two over the Yankees – the Cubs weren't in bad form either. They have a one-game lead over the Brewers atop the NL Central.

So how can you watch Red Sox vs Cubs on Fubo from anywhere? Can you get the free Red Sox vs Cubs stream in the UK, Canada or Australia? And is Fubo available as a smartphone app?
