How can you watch Brewers games on TV in 2026? Here's the latest

If you’ve been wondering, “Where can I watch Brewers games this season?” here’s the latest.

“I can assure fans that, if they’re used to watching games on cable, satellite and streaming, they’re invariably going to have very similar options for 2026,” Rick Schlesinger, the Milwaukee Brewers‘ president of business operations, said at a news conference Wednesday, March 18 at American Family Field.

ICYMI: The Brewers’ broadcasting rights were transferred from Main Street Sports – which oversees FanDuel Sports Wisconsin and many other regional sports networks – to Major League Baseball, which will produce and distribute games.

MLB – which controls the local TV rights for more than a dozen clubs – is negotiating distribution deals “as we speak” and finalizing the production, Schlesinger said. He expects that those deals will get done just a couple of days before Milwaukee’s opening day, which is Thursday, March 26, at American Family Field against the Chicago White Sox.

While the Brewers want to let cable and satellite viewers know which channels they can tune into for games, Schlesinger said, those may not be announced until the day before the home opener.

“We’re waiting for MLB to tell us what deals are finalized and what channels,” Schlesinger said.

Earlier this week, the Brewers announced that 10 broadcasts this season, including Opening Day, will be viewable for free on “over the air” channels in most Wisconsin markets.

The Brewers also have a new streaming platform, Brewers.TV, which paid subscribers can use to catch every locally distributed regular-season Brewers game live and on-demand. However, select regular-season and postseason games are exclusive to national MLB media partners.

“Priority 1 for us is getting the mass distribution of our games to as many fans in the Wisconsin market as we can,” Schlesinger said.

“Equally important,” he continued, is bringing back the same on-air talent.

“People will find the broadcast and production very similar to years past, with a couple of new cool camera angles, and just a little bit of a higher production quality,” he said.

What cable, satellite channels will Milwaukee Brewers games air on in 2026?

They haven’t been announced, but will be shortly before the Brewers open the season March 26.

How to stream 2026 Milwaukee Brewers games

Steaming is becoming more popular with fans, Schlesinger said. The Brewers’ streaming platform is Brewers.TV.

With a $99.99 subscription to Brewers.TV, fans in the Crew’s home television territory can stream every locally distributed regular-season Brewers game in 2026 live and on-demand. That’s all games not covered by a national broadcast, like ESPN or AppleTV.

Schlesinger anticipates that around 145 games will be streamed on the platform, which is available on the web, mobile devices, computers and smart TVs.

Subscribers will experience “a high‑quality, fan‑first streaming experience” with exclusive camera angles and enhanced production elements, the Brewers said. The platform is scheduled to debut its first regular-season broadcast on Opening Day.

To access Brewers.TV, fans can subscribe, download the MLB app and log in. More info can be found at mlb.com/live-stream-games/subscribe/brewers.

For those who want to buy the broader MLB.TV package, which allows fans to watch all out-of-market games, it costs $199.99 for both Brewers and non-Brewers games. MLB.TV alone costs $149.99 for fans who want to buy that service without Brewers games.

Milwaukee Brewers games on ‘over the air’ channels

These are the 10 games that will be viewable on “over the air” channels:

March 26: vs. Chicago White Sox, 1:10 p.m.

March 31: vs. Tampa Bay Rays, 6:40 p.m.

April 28: vs. Arizona Diamondbacks, 6:40 p.m.

May 12: vs. San Diego Padres, 6:40 p.m.

May 19: at Chicago Cubs, 6:40 p.m.

June 2: vs. San Francisco Giants, 6:40 p.m.

Aug. 4: vs. Pittsburgh Pirates, 6:40 p.m.

Aug. 18: vs. Seattle Mariners, 6:40 p.m.

Aug. 25: at New York Mets, 6:10 p.m.

Sept. 8: vs. Chicago Cubs, 6:40 p.m.

The stations airing those games are:

Green Bay: WGBA-TV, WACY-TV

La Crosse-Eau Claire: WKBT-TV

Wausau-Rhinelander: WSAW-TV, WZAW-LD, WYOW

Duluth-Superior: KDLH-TV, KBJR-TV

Marquette, Michigan: WJMN-TV

The broadcasts will be simulcast in their usual spots and Brewers.TV.

How does MLB taking over the Brewers’ broadcasting rights affect revenue?

“There’s less money coming in than there would’ve been with FanDuel,” Schlesinger said. “But, this was a contingency, frankly, that we’ve projected, and we budgeted for.”

The Brewers have other sources of revenue, he said, including expected great attendance and sponsorships.

“The early numbers are very strong for the bottom line,” he said. “The team on the field, we’re investing in it. So, whether it’s the draft picks, whether it’s the payroll, whether it’s front-office staff, whether it’s projects – we’re investing. And, the television shortfall is not impacting us on that front at all.”
