How To Watch the Milwaukee Brewers
Where to watch Milwaukee Brewers games this season
How you watch the Milwaukee Brewers has changed yet again. After a stint on FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin, the team’s local broadcasts are now on the league-operated Brewers.TV streaming platform.
Whether you’re catching a game at a sports pub down in Madison or streaming from a cabin up near Bayfield, tracking these constant TV changes is a chore. Take it from someone who calls Wisconsin home: I know how frustrating it is to hunt down the Brew Crew on TV. Think of this guide as your blueprint for getting your TV setup ready before the next pitch.
If you prefer a traditional remote control over a smart TV app, rest assured. While Brewers.TV is the new digital destination, standard cable and satellite options will be available. Providers are still finalizing those details, but I’ll keep this page updated as soon as more information drops.
Spring into baseball with DIRECTV!
DIRECTV has the most MLB games, including Spring Training, period.* Not only that, but this season you can catch the World Baseball Classic and tons of college ball streaming on your favorite devices. With so much live action on deck, it's time to get your game together by scouting DIRECTV's packages today.
*Claim based on total games carried on Nat'l and combined local Regional Sports Networks. RSNs avail. with CHOICE package or higher. Avail. of RSNs varies by ZIP code and pkg. Blackouts apply.
Where to watch the Brewers—local TV breakdown
You can watch local Brewers broadcasts directly through the Brewers.TV network. This viewing option is available to anyone in Wisconsin, as well as parts of Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota.
Out-of-market viewers located beyond the Brewers’ TV territory face a different setup. You must rely on an MLB.TV streaming subscription or an MLB EXTRA INNINGS cable package to watch most regular-season games.
| Channel | Starting price | Coverage | Available on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brewers.TV | $99.99/season | Most in-market games | MLB app, DIRECTV, Fubo, Spectrum, Xfinity |
| MLB.TV | $149.99/season | Most out-of-market games | MLB and ESPN apps |
| MLB EXTRA INNINGS | $149.99/season | Most out-of-market games | Cable and satellite services |
Where to watch the Brewers—national TV breakdown
When Milwaukee’s finest hit the national stage, you can expect these marquee matchups to be broadcast coast-to-coast on major television networks like FOX, FS1, NBC, TBS, and ESPN.
Just keep in mind that these national broadcasts will override your local Brewers.TV or out-of-market MLB.TV feeds. You’ll also need to keep an eye out for streaming exclusives, as the Brewers will occasionally appear on Apple TV for Friday Night Baseball and Peacock Premium for MLB Sunday Leadoff and Sunday Night Baseball.
| Network | Coverage | Available on |
|---|---|---|
| Apple TV | Friday Night Baseball exclusive games | Apple TV subscription ($12.99/mo.) |
| ESPN | Select regular-season games | Cable, satellite, live TV streaming services |
| FOX | Saturday MLB games, select primetime matchups, All-Star Game, World Series | Cable, satellite, live TV streaming services |
| FS1 | Saturday regular-season games, select postseason games (Division Series, League Championship Series) | Cable, satellite, live TV streaming services |

Best TV plans for watching the Milwaukee Brewers
As a lifelong Wisconsinite, I know catching every Brewers pitch requires a particular TV setup. And this year’s broadcasting shakeups don’t necessarily make it any easier.
That said, I recommend die-hard fans go with DIRECTV. It seamlessly delivers Brewers.TV alongside must-have national MLB networks like FOX and ESPN. You can even bundle Apple TV and Peacock Premium into your service, creating a comprehensive, single-bill package so you never miss an exclusive matchup.
Of course, that all-in-one convenience comes with a hefty price tag. If you want more manageable monthly costs, in-market fans should subscribe directly to the standalone Brewers.TV app. Brewers fans living out of market will need a standard MLB.TV subscription.
Best Overall
DIRECTV is the most reliable way I’ve found to bundle the Brewers’ in-market coverage with a robust channel lineup. You’ll need the CHOICE™ package or higher (starting at $94.99/mo.) to unlock the dedicated Brewers feed on Channel 670, but that upgrade also secures essential national networks.
Exclusive Games
Apple TV ($12.99/mo.) holds the exclusive rights to Friday night doubleheaders. When Milwaukee lands on the Friday Night Baseball schedule, you’ll need an Apple TV subscription to tune in.
Exclusive Games
A Peacock Premium subscription ($10.99–$16.99/mo.) is essential for select Sunday matchups. Keep an eye on the schedule so you don’t miss the Brewers close out a random series on a Sunday.
Out-of-Market Coverage
If you live outside the Brewers’ TV territory, grab MLB.TV ($149.99/season) to stream most regular-season games. It’s a must-have for out-of-market fans who are blacked out from the local Brewers.TV feed.

How to watch the Milwaukee Brewers FAQ
What channel are the Brewers on?
Most in-market Milwaukee Brewers games air on the new Brewers.TV platform. For national broadcasts, the Brew Crew will occasionally appear on major networks like FOX, FS1, Apple TV, and Peacock.
Can I stream Brewers games without cable?
Yes, in-market fans can subscribe directly to Brewers.TV or use a live TV streaming service, like DIRECTV, that integrates the network into a standard channel guide. Meanwhile, out-of-market fans can stream regular-season matchups using MLB.TV.
Why are Brewers games blacked out in my area?
MLB blackout rules are designed to protect local broadcast rights. If you're within the Brewers' home market, MLB.TV will block live access to the game, meaning you must use Brewers.TV instead. But if you fire up Brewers.TV and don't see a live game, it's likely airing on a national network.
Can I watch the Milwaukee Brewers for free?
Yes, you can watch select nationally televised Brewers games for free using a digital antenna to pick up local FOX or NBC broadcasts. Beyond that, you can take advantage of short-term free trials from live TV streaming services like DIRECTV and Fubo.
