How to Watch Cubs vs Brewers

When: Wednesday, October 8, 2025Time: 5:08 PM ETTV Channel: TBSLive Stream: Sling (watch now); DIRECTV (watch now)

The Cubs find themselves in a 0-2 hole, needing to win 3 straight in order to advance to the NLCS. Luckily, they now get 2 games at home, but the Brewers have shown no signs of letting up.

After a 9-3 win in Game 1, Milwaukee followed it up with a 7-3 victory in Game 2. The Brewers are clicking on all cylinders, and a potential matchup with the Dodgers in the NCLS, were they both to advance, could be the matchup of the postseason.

Jameson Taillon must come through in what will be one of the biggest starts of his career. He posted an 11-7 record with a 3.68 ERA during the regular season and has the stuff to keep Chicago in the series.

Milwaukee will counter with Quinn Piester, who is making his first appearance of the postseason. Piester is 13-3 with a 3.32 ERA.

This is a fantastic MLB matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
