How to watch Milwaukee Brewers games on TV, streaming in 2026
Lots open and fans launch early tailgating for Brewers opener
The parking lots officially open and Brewers fans set up, launching early tailgating ahead of the team’s 2026 home opener.
By now, Milwaukee Brewers fans have hopefully found a reliable way to catch game broadcasts in 2026, the first year of a new format in which Major League Baseball produces and distributes games.
The Brewers formerly appeared on a regional sports network known as FanDuel Wisconsin (operated by Main Street Sports), but the demise of Main Street pushed the Brewers and several other teams under the MLB umbrella.
Here’s what to know about watching Brewers games in the 2026 season:
Where can I stream Brewers games?
The new Brewers.TV offering, operated through MLB.com, allows Brewers fans to see local games in-market for $99.99 a season, and there are also monthly plans. Fans can also get the full MLB.TV package – enabling them to see all out-of-market games, as well – for $199.99 this season. That’s a bit of a bargain since it costs $149.99 to watch MLB.TV alone, without the Brewers broadcasts.
Can I still watch the Brewers on cable or satellite?
It took right up until Opening Day to announce the channels, but the Brewers made good on their promise that things would be largely unchanged for cable and satellite subscribers, identifying a litany of locations for the various providers around the state.
Channels for Brewers.TV include 1263 on XFinity, 670 on DirecTV and 1743 on U-Verse. For Spectrum customers, the channel varies, depending on the local system – check 308, 1308, 319, 317 and 469 for the channel or channels in your community.
Can I use my cable or satellite credentials to watch games on the Brewers.TV app?
Not yet, even though that was an option previously available with the FanDuel Sports Network app. However, an inquiry into MLB Fan Support indicated that the option “should be available soon.” That’s significant for subscribers to a service like Spectrum, which has an app that enables viewers to watch live TV but often blacks out select channels, including the channel airing Brewers games, when a user is away from the home wi-fi.
Can I watch Brewers games ‘over-the-air’ using an antenna?
Not most games, but there’s a slate of games that will be available on local channels, including WITI-TV (Channel 6) in Milwaukee, with broadcasts that can also be viewed “over the air” with an antenna or on cable or satellite systems with local channels.
Are there some games that will air on other channels or streaming services?
Yes, and here’s the list:
- May 4 at Cardinals, game will air on Fox Sports 1 (but also the regular places like Brewers.TV)
- May 23 vs. Dodgers, Fox
- June 1 vs. Giants, FS1, in addition to regular channels
- June 13 vs. Phillies, Fox
- June 26 vs. Cubs, AppleTV (so a separate subscription will be needed)
- July 5 at Diamondbacks, NBC Sports Network and Peacock
- July 12 at Pirates, NBCSN and Peacock
- Aug. 2 at Angels, NBCSN and Peacock
- Aug. 15 at Dodgers, Fox
- Aug. 23 vs. Braves, ESPN and on the ESPN App (it’s the Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pennsylvania)
- Aug. 29 vs. Rangers, Fox
- Sept. 20 at Orioles, NBCSN and Peacock
The Brewers actually have an ESPN game this year?
Yes, and it’s a cool format. Though it’s considered a home game, the Brewers will play at a ballpark in conjunction with the Little League World Series, playing a game before a limited crowd of 2,500 Little League World Series qualifiers and their families. It’s the first time the Brewers have appeared in a neutral-site game produced by MLB and the first ESPN “Sunday Night Baseball” appearance for the club since 2022.
Who are the Brewers announcers in 2026?
The announcers who called the action in 2025 are largely unchanged.
- Brian Anderson: He’s been doing Brewers TV broadcasts since 2007 but has a large plate of assignments for Turner broadcasting, leaving him with about 50 broadcasts on his docket.
- Jeff Levering: With Anderson out, Levering has become the primary TV play-by-play man, though he also does a number of radio broadcasts when Anderson is available. This is his 12th season with the Brewers.
- Bill Schroeder: The former Brewers catcher has cut back to mostly home games as the TV analyst in recent years. He’s been in the booth for more than 30 years.
- Sophia Minnaert: The TV sideline analyst has been with the team 14 years and takes part in virtually every sbroadcast.
- Lane Grindle: In his 11th year, he’s often tasked with primary play-by-play duties on radio when Levering is in the TV booth; he works alongside Levering otherwise.
- Josh Maurer: In his fifth year, he works primarily on radio alongside Grindle when Levering is in the TV booth, but he’s also appeared in the TV booth early in the 2026 season when Levering missed games with illness.
- Vinny Rottino: The former Brewer often participates as a TV analyst in road games; this is his sixth season doing a handful of games.
- Tim Dillard: The irreverent former Brewers pitcher has been with the Brewers as an occasional road TV analyst over the past five years.
Drone video shows dug‑up yard at former Michael Lock home
Drone video shows a dug‑up yard at a Milwaukee home once owned by Michael Lock, following a police search for possible homicide victims.
Milwaukee police on Monday, April 20, began digging up a home once owned by notorious Milwaukee drug dealer Michael Lock.
The dig marks another chapter in Lock’s long criminal history in Milwaukee, which has included convictions for homicide, drug dealing, kidnapping, torture and running a prostitution ring.
As of 6 p.m., April 20, police had partially dug up the concrete driveway and yard in Lock’s former home. Lock has been convicted of murders of other drug dealers whose bodies were found under concrete slabs at a different home he owned.
As the dig continues, here’s what to know about Lock:
Who is Michael Lock?
Lock was the head of a murderous criminal organization known as the “Body Snatchers” and one of the leading criminal operators in Milwaukee until his 2007 arrest.
Over the course of a decade, Lock’s organization sold large volumes of cocaine, tortured and killed other dealers, prostituted women across the Midwest and ran a mortgage fraud scheme.
A jury convicted Lock in July 2008 in the homicides of two drug dealers in 1999 and 2000, whose remains were found in 2005 under concrete slabs in the backyard of a home once owned by Lock at 4900 W. Fiebrantz Ave. He has also been found guilty of running a prostitution ring, various kidnapping and drug dealing charges and mortgage fraud.
Where is Michael Lock now?
Lock is is serving multiple terms of life in prison at Waupun Correctional Institution without the chance of parole.
Where are Milwaukee police digging on April 20?
Milwaukee police confirmed they are executing a search warrant at the home on 4343 N. 15th St. in Milwaukee’s north side. City tax records show the property is owned by Shalanda Roberts, formerly Shalanda Lock, Michael Lock’s former wife.
Why are police digging up the yard of Lock’s former home?
There has long been suspicion on the part of law enforcement that there are additional bodies buried under the yard. In 2011, police dug another Milwaukee yard looking for remains.
In that warrant 15 years ago, investigators said at least four victims are buried somewhere in Milwaukee. Before that, police had dug a half-dozen other yards. Police have found no remains in the other digs.
Who lives at the property now?
It is unclear if anyone currently lives at the North 15th Street property. Shalanda Roberts told the Journal Sentinel she owns the property where police are digging, but it is a rental and she lives out of state now.
She said she has no information on the dig and has not spoken to her former husband in years.
Read the Journal Sentinel’s past coverage on Michael Lock
The Journal Sentinel documented the case against Lock in a five-part investigative series, “The Preacher’s Mob,” published in 2009.

Milwaukee Wave coach Marcio Leite 2025-26 team’s evolution in MASL
See first-year Milwaukee Wave head coach Marcio Leite discuss the roles of younger players and veterans as the 2025-26 MASL season begins.
The Milwaukee Wave had been in the awkward position of trying to sell tickets to the MASL championship series without knowing when it would actually host a game.
The questions were answered late April 19, when the San Diego Sockers beat the St. Louis Ambush in the other semifinal in overtime. Their series didn’t even start until four days after the Wave eliminated the Baltimore Blast with victories in a regulation Game 2 and knockout Game 3 at the UWM Panther Arena.
Now the finals are set for two of the most decorated teams in arena soccer.
The Wave will host Game 1 at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 and then the series will finish at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, with Game 2 at 9:30 p.m. April 24 and a potential Game 3 at 9 p.m. April 27.
Three versions of the Sockers have totaled 16 championships in various indoor league with the latest iteration founded in 2009 owning six of those. The Wave has seven.
First-year Wave head coach Marcio Leite has won titles with both franchises.
