How to Watch Cubs vs BrewersWhen: Monday, October 6, 2025Time: 9:08 PM ETTV Channel: TBSLive Stream: Sling (watch now); DIRECTV (watch now)
The Cubs need to find a way to bounce back, or this series could be over before we know it. After suffering a 9-3 loss in the opener, Chicago will turn to its ace, Shota Imanaga, in an attempt to limit the Brewers’ offensive production.
Milwaukee entered the postseason with the best record in the National League, and they showed why in Game 1. Jackson Chourio, Brice Turang, William Contreras, and Blake Perkins all had at least two hits on Saturday, as they chased Matthew Boyd, the Cubs starter, before he could even close out the first inning.
The Cubs were able to reach base 9 times in Game 1, but they were only able to turn their basepath activity into 3 runs, stranding 6. Timely hitting will be key for Chicago in this one if the team hopes to get back into the series.
This is a fantastic MLB matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
