Brewers Announce Television and Streaming Plans for 2026
MLB to Produce and Distribute Local Games for Milwaukee Brewers
MILWAUKEE – Announced today, local Milwaukee Brewers games will be produced and distributed by Major League Baseball, making games available to in-market fans on cable and satellite television as well as through the MLB direct-to-consumer streaming platform. The new arrangement will give fans multiple options to watch the Brewers on television and digital streaming.
“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,” said Brewers President – Business Operations Rick Schlesinger. “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.”
Fans within the Brewers home television markets will have the option of watching games on cable and satellite television or streaming live through MLB.TV. Information on cable and satellite providers, including specific channel locations, will be announced at a later date. Fans will be able to purchase a Brewers streaming subscription through MLB.com or the MLB App when packages go on sale in February.
The Brewers join several other Major League Baseball Clubs who have previously migrated to the MLB broadcasting and streaming platform. In recent seasons, MLB-produced local games have incorporated national-level innovations including live drones, Wire Cam, RF cameras with a shallow depth-of-field cinematic look and two Umpire Cam formats – the mask-mounted camera behind home plate and the chest-mounted camera in the field. These broadcasts have also delivered unprecedented player access, introducing multiple first-of-their-kind moments for MLB local coverage. MLB has won Sports Emmy Awards for its local game production of the Padres and Twins. In addition, MLB Network has won multiple national Sports Emmy Awards for its game production since 2009.
All 162 Brewers games in 2026 will be available through either local distribution or via Major League Baseball’s national telecast partners.
The Brewers will be selling in-game commercial spots in both broadcast television and streaming services this year.
Additional information will be announced in the coming weeks.
