Sunday’s series finale between the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets will also be the first game in 2025’s MLB Roku Sunday Leadoff. Fans of both teams will hear familiar voices calling the game.
Jeff Agrest of the Chicago Sun-Times shared on X (formerly Twitter) that the game will be called by Gary Cohen, Joe Girardi and Taylor McGregor.
The #Cubs–#Mets game Sunday is the first of @Roku‘s “MLB Sunday Leadoff” package this season. First pitch is 11:05 am CT. Gary Cohen, Joe Girardi and Taylor McGregor will call it.

Cohen, as the lead play-by-play announcer for the Mets on SNY, is, of course, familiar to fans in New York. Girardi and McGregor, meanwhile, have both been part of the Cubs’ television broadcasts on Marquee, with Girardi occasionally serving as a guest color analyst and McGregor doing sideline/field duties.
This is Roku’s second season as the provider for MLB Sunday Leadoff. Previously, Peacock broadcast the MLB Sunday Leadoff games. The 2025 schedule — which was announced in February — will begin on Sunday, May 11, with a game scheduled to air every Sunday through Sept. 7. Sunday’s game will be the only MLB Sunday Leadoff appearance of both the Cubs and Mets this season.
In addition to Roku devices, the Roku Sunday Leadoff games will be available on the free Roku Channel, as well as MLB.TV.
