The Milwaukee Brewers were one of nine MLB teams to cancel their contract with Main Street Sports Group, which produces games for TV under the moniker of FanDuel Sports Network.

Main Street Sports Group is the former Diamond Sports Group, which filed for bankruptcy a couple of years ago and threw the local TV rights for many MLB, NBA, and NHL teams into a murky situation. Main Street has recently missed payments to a handful of teams, which led to this latest action by the nine teams that remain with Main Street. The other teams that joined the Brewers in severing ties for Main Street, at least for the moment, are Atlanta, the Cincinnati Reds, the Detroit Tigers, the Kansas City Royals, the Los Angeles Angels, the Miami Marlins, the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Tampa Bay Rays.

So what does that mean for Brewers fans? Let me try and help you out.

Will Brewers games still be on TV this season?

Yes. And it will be with all the familiar faces in Brian Anderson, Bill Schroeder, Sophia Minnaert, Jeff Levering, Vinny Rottino, and Tim Dillard calling the action, barring any changes to that cast. The studio show, typically hosted by Craig Coshun, will stay, too. The difference will be that the games, at this point, will be produced through MLB.

The only difference is that Brewers games might appear on a different channel on your cable provider and will likely be branded as Brewers.TV. There is also a possibility that a local station could pick up a handful of games, with the majority appearing on Brewers.TV.

Will I be able to stream games?

Yes. While it is too early in the process for any announcements by the Brewers or MLB, the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks have been streaming through MLB for a couple of years now, with the Cleveland Guardians, Colorado Rockies, Minnesota Twins, and Seattle Mariners joining the fray last season.

Those teams offer fans in the local market a team-specific package of $19.99 per month or $99.99 for the entire season. Games can be watched through MLB.tv, but a Brewers package would be in addition to the typical MLB.tv offerings. MLB.tv is typically offered at $149.99.

Who is to blame for this?

Main Street Sports Group, mostly. Despite filing for bankruptcy a few years ago when it was known as the Diamond Sports Group, Main Street Sports Group appeared to have righted the ship for 2025 after emerging from that process, which was overseen by a judge. Cable companies seek premium fees to carry regional sports networks like FanDuel Sports Network. Main Street recently missed payments to all of its NBA teams, as well as MLB’s Cardinals. The Athletic reported that Main Street lost $200 million in 2025 from 29 MLB, NBA, and NHL teams. MainStreet has been in talks with DAZN, another sports streamer, to sell a majority stake in the company, according to The Athletic.

What does this mean for the Brewers?

Unfortunately, it means less revenue. In each of the last two years, the Brewers received $35 million to have their games carried on FanDuel Sports Network. At the moment, that money is gone for 2026, although a renegotiated deal with Main Street is possible, and that would likely mean a lower fee for the Brewers. Even if there is a sale to DAZN, that does not guarantee the Brewers a similar $35 million annual fee. The Brewers also will not receive any money from MLB. There was an MLB program that ran in 2024 to help out the teams affected, but it was discontinued after that season as more teams started losing their TV home, according to The Athletic.
