Milwaukee Brewers baseball fans have gotten used to tuning into their team's games on the FanDuel Sports Network. That, though, is going to change.

On Thursday, the Brewers, along with eight other MLB teams, cancelled their contracts with FanDuel SN and its parent company, Main Street Sports Group.

According to an article from The Athletic, the other teams were the Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins, St. Louis Cardinals, and Tampa Bay Rays.

The reason these clubs took their action was to avoid issues should Main Street enter bankruptcy. Main Street entered bankruptcy between 2023-25, but was able to rework deals with the Brewers and other MLB clubs to keep them on the network.

Yet there is a possibility that Main Street enters bankruptcy again, so these MLB clubs didn't want to deal with Main Street again in this situation.

When reached for comment on Thursday, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said that the league was willing to work with the ballclubs to find new TV homes.

"Our focus, particularly given the point in the calendar, is to maximize the revenue that’s available to the clubs, whether that’s MLB Media or third party," Manfred said when speaking with the Associated Press.

"The clubs have control over the timing," Manfred said. "They can make a decision to move to MLB Media because of the contractual status now. I think that what’s happening right now clubs are evaluating their alternatives.

"Obviously, they’ve made significant payroll commitments already and they’re evaluating the alternatives to find the best revenue source for the year and the best outlet in terms of providing quality broadcasts to their fans," Manfred said.

According to longtime Miami Herald reporter Barry Jackson, Main Street reportedly missed a payment to the Marlins. Additionally, the business also missed making a payment to St. Louis in December. But this is not a new trend; Main Street has also missed other payments with other clubs, too.

When ballclubs don't have TV networks, they not only miss out on showing games to teams, but they are denied advertising dollars, too. 

One outlet that reportedly is looking to try and pick up these MLB contracts is Fubo. Fubo is a streaming platform that offers multiple different sports networks, whether it's the ACC Network or SEC Network for college sports, or even other pro sports leagues.

Milwaukee will have to move quick to get a TV deal before the 2026 MLB regular season starts.
