The Milwaukee Brewers announced that beginning with the 2026 season, all locally televised games will be produced and distributed by Major League Baseball, marking a significant shift in how fans can watch the team both on television and via digital platforms.

The announcement was made official by the club on Monday, with details attributed to MLB.com.

Under the new arrangement, Brewers games will be available to in-market fans through traditional cable and satellite providers, as well as through MLB’s direct-to-consumer streaming service.

Fans will have the option to stream games live on MLB.TV, offering greater flexibility and accessibility across multiple platforms.

Brewers president of business operations Rick Schlesinger described the move as a step forward in enhancing the fan viewing experience away from American Family Field.

Schlesinger emphasized that MLB’s established infrastructure provides consistency, reliability, and improved production quality, while also opening the door for new broadcast features that were not previously available to local audiences.

Specific information regarding cable and satellite providers, including channel placements within the Brewers’ home television territory, will be announced at a later date.

Streaming subscription packages for Brewers games are expected to go on sale in February and will be available through MLB.com and the MLB App.

By joining MLB’s in-house broadcasting platform, the Brewers become the latest club to transition to league-produced local telecasts.

In recent seasons, MLB-produced broadcasts have introduced advanced production elements such as drone footage, Wire Cam, cinematic RF cameras, and multiple Umpire Cam angles.

These innovations have helped elevate local broadcasts to a national-level presentation, earning Sports Emmy Awards for MLB’s production work with other clubs.

All 162 Brewers games during the 2026 season will be accessible either through local distribution channels or via Major League Baseball’s national broadcast partners, ensuring complete coverage throughout the year.

Schlesinger reiterated that accessibility remains a top priority for the organization, noting that while the number of viewing options may require an adjustment period for fans, the end result will be more availability across more platforms.

He expressed confidence that fans will quickly adapt and appreciate the expanded choices.

Importantly, the Brewers’ on-air broadcast team will remain unchanged. Play-by-play broadcasters Brian Anderson and Jeff Levering, analysts Bill Schroeder, Tim Dillard, and Vinny Rottino, along with sideline reporter Sophia Minnaert, will all continue in their roles.

Additional announcements regarding channel locations, pregame and postgame programming, advertising opportunities, and potential Spring Training broadcasts are expected in the coming weeks.
