The Brewers' TV situation blew up over the offseason. Milwaukee pulled out of its deal with FanDuel Sports Network after the network missed payments to multiple teams, and MLB stepped in to take over broadcast production and distribution entirely. If you are a Brewers fan wondering where to actually watch games this year, here is what you need to know.
Brewers.TV Is the New Default
MLB launched Brewers.TV as the team's in-market streaming service, available through the MLB App. The pricing is straightforward: $99.99 for the full season or $19.99 per month. You get all 162 games with no local blackout restrictions, which is a significant change from the old RSN model where in-market streaming was either unavailable or required a cable login.
The service streams on smart TVs, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and mobile devices. If you have the MLB App on your phone, you already have the platform you need.
For fans who also want out-of-market games across the league, MLB offers a bundle: Brewers.TV plus MLB.TV for $199.99 per season or $39.99 per month.
What About Cable and Satellite?
This is where things get murky. With MLB taking over production, the traditional cable and satellite carriage agreements are still being sorted out. As of early 2026, specific channel numbers and provider agreements for Brewers broadcasts had not been finalized. If you are a cable subscriber, check with your provider for updates. But the entire point of Brewers.TV is that you do not need to wait for cable companies to figure it out.
Free Games With an Antenna
A selection of Brewers games will be broadcast over the air on local television this season. The exact number and schedule have not been fully announced, but between local OTA broadcasts and national games on Fox and NBC (Sunday Night Baseball moved from ESPN to NBC starting in 2026), you can expect to catch 10-15 games for free with a basic HDTV antenna.
An indoor antenna costs $15-30 at any electronics store and requires no monthly fee. It picks up your local Fox and NBC affiliates in HD, which is where the national broadcast windows land.
Out-of-Market Fans
If you live outside Wisconsin, Iowa, and the surrounding blackout territory (which extends into parts of Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula), standard MLB.TV covers every Brewers game at $19.99 per month or $99.99 per season. MLB.TV is also now available through the ESPN app, so you have two ways to access it.
What This Costs You
| Option | Cost | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Brewers.TV (MLB App) | $99.99/season or $19.99/mo | All 162 games, no blackouts |
| Brewers.TV + MLB.TV bundle | $199.99/season or $39.99/mo | Brewers + every out-of-market game |
| HDTV antenna | $15-30 one-time | Local OTA games + national broadcasts |
| MLB.TV (out-of-market) | $99.99/season or $19.99/mo | All games outside blackout territory |
The Bottom Line
The RSN collapse actually worked out in the Brewers' favor. Instead of navigating a confusing web of cable providers and streaming bundles, you now have one straightforward option: $99.99 for the season through the MLB App, every game, no blackouts. That is cheaper and simpler than what most fan bases are dealing with.
The one thing Brewers.TV does not do is tell you who is pitching tonight, what time the game starts, what happened last night, or where the Crew sits in the NL Central standings. For that, Small Ball is a free daily Brewers email that lands in your inbox every morning with the full box score, standings, tonight's pitching matchup and game time, injury reports, and curated beat reporter coverage. It takes two minutes to read and pairs with whatever streaming setup you choose.
