MILWAUKEE (WLUK) — Baseball fans will need to turn to a different channel — or open a different app — to watch the Milwaukee Brewers this year.
The team announced Monday that its games will be produced and distributed by Major League Baseball.
Games will be available to fans in the state of Wisconsin through many cable and satellite providers, or through MLB.TV. Which channel in various cable and satellite lineups fans can turn to will be announced later.
Fans can also purchase streaming plans through MLB.com or the MLB app beginning later this month.
“Moving to MLB’s platform marks an exciting evolution for how our fans experience Brewers baseball away from the ballpark, through both traditional broadcast television and via streaming options,” Brewers president-business operations Rick Schlesinger said in a news release. “The consistency and quality of that experience in many ways will be enhanced. In addition to wide linear broadcast distribution on cable and satellite throughout the Brewers home television territory, MLB has built one of the most successful and reliable streaming ecosystems in all sports. Viewers will enjoy new production elements and features not previously available on broadcasts.”
The move means the end of the Brewers’ relationship with FanDuel Sports Network, which had been the team’s television home for the past several years.
