By now, if you’re a Milwaukee Brewers fan, you’ve probably figured out how to watch the games—or maybe you’re still just clicking random icons on your TV. 2026 marks the first year Major League Baseball is handling everything themselves after the whole Main Street Sports/FanDuel Wisconsin situation basically evaporated. It’s a shift. The league is directly producing and distributing the games now, which is… well, it’s the new normal.
So, if you’re looking to stream, there’s Brewers.TV. It runs through MLB.com, and it’ll cost you $99.99 for a season pass if you’re in-market. If you want the full MLB.TV experience—everything out-of-market too—that’s $199.99. Actually, that’s not a bad deal since it’s only $50 more than the basic MLB.TV package. Wait, let me double check that math—yes, $149.99 for the standard package.
I sat there for ten minutes yesterday trying to get the app to load while the smell of burnt coffee filled the kitchen—it’s always the little things, isn’t it? Cable and satellite subscribers were left hanging until the very last second before opening day to see which channels they’d actually be getting, but they did announce a list of providers. If you’re an antenna person, don’t get your hopes up for every game. There are only eight that will air over-the-air, including on Channel 6 here in Milwaukee.
Then things get a bit messy with national games. You’ve got the usual suspects—Fox, FS1, and ESPN—but you’ll also need an AppleTV+ subscription for the June 26 game against the Cubs. NBC Sports Network and Peacock are carrying a handful of games, like the July 5 matchup in Arizona and a few others later in the summer. And that Little League Classic? August 23 against the Braves. It’s a cool setup in Williamsport, though honestly, it’s mostly for the kids and their families—only about 2,500 people will actually be in the stands.
One thing that’s still a headache is the cable login situation. You can’t use your standard cable credentials on Brewers.TV yet. I poked around MLB Fan Support, and they claim that integration “should be available soon,” which is… vague. That matters for people on services like Spectrum, where the app blocks channels if you’re not on your home Wi-Fi. It’s annoying, but what can you do.
At least the booth feels familiar. Brian Anderson is still doing his thing, though with his Turner schedule, he’s only at about 50 games. Jeff Levering has really stepped up as the primary TV guy—he’s in his 12th year now, which feels wild. Bill Schroeder is sticking to mostly home games as the analyst, Sophia Minnaert is back on the sidelines, and you’ve got Lane Grindle, Josh Maurer, Vinny Rottino, and Tim Dillard rounding out the rotation. It’s the same crew, just in different chairs. Or maybe it’s not? No, definitely the same faces.
