Will chess.com be streaming the 2018 World Championship? I see other sites offering tickets to watch it.

May e have it available for paid subscribers?

Probably but maybe not

I'd be curious to know who else is offering to stream the World Championship and what exactly it is that they're offering.

To my understanding, there is only one way to stream the actual match and that is through:

https://worldchess.com

That's the way it was in 2016 as well, with only one provider having streaming rights.

Other sites can provide a stream showing you what moves are made and providing commentary, but it won't be the actual live stream of the players.

They will be streaming, but with like a 5-15 minute delay or something.

True, to avoid cheating

The company who holds the championship has demanded 30 minutes dealy. Except for 2 channels in Norway who has the main rights. BUT the companies always looses at trial against the broadcasters which ignores it. So I guess it will be live with no delay.
