The Milwaukee Brewers put together the best season in franchise history in 2025, finishing 97-65 as the NL Central division champions and earning the top overall seed in the National League playoffs. Their run came to a disappointing end when the Los Angeles Dodgers swept them 4-0 in the National League Championship Series. Still, it was Milwaukee’s third straight division title and there’s plenty to be excited about heading into 2026.

How did the Brewers Do in 2025?
Milwaukee finished with the best overall record in baseball at 97-65. It’s difficult to pin that success on any one player. Last year’s Brewers were a case study in the power of quality depth, both in the lineup and on the pitching staff.
They ranked as a top three offense and a top three pitching staff in the National League. Six regular starters hit over .260. Four players scored more than 80 runs, and five players recorded more than 145 hits on the season.
Bryce Turang and Christian Yelich both finished in the top 15 of NL MVP voting. Caleb Durbin and Isaac Collins finished third and fourth in NL Rookie of the Year voting. Freddy Peralta led the National League with 17 wins, while Quinn Priester led all of Major League Baseball in winning percentage, going 13-3 in 24 starts. Peralta’s standout season earned him an All-Star bid and a fifth-place finish in NL Cy Young voting.
Trevor McGill finished with 30 saves and 6 wins, earning an All-Star selection as well. And Jacob Misiorowski, the 23-year-old future ace, made the All-Star Game after a dominant June.
In center field, Jackson Chourio put together a 20-20 season for the second consecutive year in just his second full season in the big leagues, looking every bit the star Milwaukee hopes he’ll become. Bryce Turang was excellent, finishing with a .288 average, 18 home runs and 81 RBIs. Christian Yelich turned back the clock with 29 home runs and 100 RBIs. And William Contreras once again had a phenomenal season behind the plate, adding 17 home runs and a .260 batting average.
While they fell short of their World Series aspirations, Milwaukee promises to be just as competitive heading into 2026.
Milwaukee Brewers 2026 TV Schedule
Almost as a consolation for such a heartbreaking end to the season, Major League Baseball starts Milwaukee off with the Chicago White Sox who once again look to be at the bottom of the MLB barrel. The Brewers host Chicago for three games before taking on Tampa Bay and Kansas City, two more teams that missed the playoffs a year ago.
Milwaukee gets its first taste of division action when it hosts Pittsburgh from April 24-26, before getting two series with the Cardinals and another with the Cubs in May.
The Milwaukee Brewers kick off the 2026 season on March 26th at home against the Chicago White Sox at 2:10 p.m. Eastern. Here’s a look at the team’s first two months of play, along with where to watch them live. Games without national broadcasters are typically available through a team’s RSN or local streaming channel. In the case of the Brewers, you can catch in-market games on BREWERS.TV on MLB.TV.

Milwaukee Brewers Players to Watch
Here are the Brewers players to keep an eye on this season.
Jackson Chourio – Center field
In just his second season, Chourio put up his second straight 20-20 season. The dynamic outfielder is a five-tool player who — if he can stay healthy — will find himself in the All-Star and MVP conversation for years to come. The one knock on Chourio in 2025 was a low on-base percentage, getting on base just 30% of the time. If he can develop a more discerning eye at the plate and raise that number, he’ll be able to use his skills on the base paths to make this lineup even more dangerous.
Bryce Turang – Third base
In just his third season, Turang had his breakout year, setting career highs in home runs, RBIs, doubles, hits, batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage and Wins Above Replacement, where he led the team with 5.6 WAR. That was good enough for 14th in MVP voting. He’s also slated to play for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic. The first-round pick from 2018 has finally found his stride in the majors and looks to be a formidable bat in the middle of this lineup for years to come.
William Contreras – Catcher
One of the best offensive catchers in baseball, the two-time All-Star once again had a great year at the plate, setting a career high with 84 walks and helping anchor the league’s number-two pitching staff as the primary battery mate of Freddie Peralta. With Peralta now gone, Contreras will take on more of a leadership role in getting this pitching staff back to where it was.
Christian Yelich – Designated hitter
After shifting to designated hitter for much of the 2025 season in an effort to stay healthy, it worked. Yelich played his most games since 2022 and hit his most home runs since 2019, falling just short of a career high with 103 RBIs. He showed there’s still plenty of good baseball left in his bat and he remains a vital veteran presence for this young squad.
Brandon Woodruff – Starting pitcher
With Freddie Peralta traded away in the offseason, there’s a hole at the top of the Milwaukee rotation. Woodruff was limited to just 12 starts in 2025 after missing all of 2024 due to injury, but posted a 3.20 ERA in those outings. The big question is whether he can reestablish his ace form — at his best, he’s looked like one of the premier pitchers in baseball and Milwaukee needs him to be exactly that.
Jacob Misiorowski – Starting pitcher
The 23-year-old phenom came in hot in 2025 before cooling off in the second half of the season, only to reemerge in the playoffs with a 2-1 record, 1.50 ERA and 16 strikeouts to just three walks in 12 innings. If he can channel that kind of dominance consistently, the Brewers will have found their new ace. The hard-throwing 23-year-old looks to be one of the next great pitching stars in Major League Baseball.
Abner Uribe – Relief pitcher
Uribe was one of the league’s best closers in 2025, finishing with a 3-2 record, 1.67 ERA and seven saves. At times, the 25-year-old right-hander seemed nearly unhittable and provides Milwaukee with extreme flexibility in the bullpen.
Milwaukee Brewers Prospects to Know for 2026
The Milwaukee Brewers farm system remains one of the deepest in baseball. These top Brewers prospects could impact the big-league roster during the 2026 MLB season.
Jesús Made, SS — No. 3 Overall Prospect in Baseball
Jesús Made is widely regarded as one of the top prospects in baseball heading into 2026. After hitting .331 in 51 games in the Dominican Summer League, Made followed that up by batting .285 with six home runs, 40 extra-base hits and 47 stolen bases across 115 minor league games.
With legitimate 25–30 home run upside, advanced contact skills and elite speed, Made brings five-tool potential to Milwaukee’s system. Shortstop remains an offensive question mark for the Brewers, which could accelerate his timeline. Still just 18 years old, Made is expected to begin 2026 in Double-A as he works toward a major league debut.
Luis Peña, OF — No. 26 Overall Prospect in Baseball
At just 19 years old, Luis Peña continues to flash star potential. In 96 minor league games last season, Peña hit nine home runs and stole 44 bases, showcasing both power and speed.
He consistently produced exit velocities over 100 mph and profiles as a dynamic offensive threat. The key developmental focus in 2026 will be his adjustment to off-speed pitching, an area that challenged him at times last season. If he makes that leap, Peña could quickly rise through the Brewers’ system.
Jett Williams, SS — No. 51 Overall Prospect in Baseball
Acquired in the Freddie Peralta trade, Jett Williams gives Milwaukee another high-upside middle infielder. He hit .281 with 10 home runs and 32 stolen bases in 96 games between Double-A and Triple-A last year.
Williams enters 2026 with a legitimate chance to compete for a roster spot during Spring Training. If the Brewers seek additional offensive production at shortstop, he could be among the first call-ups.
Cooper Pratt, 2B/SS — No. 64 Overall Prospect in Baseball
Cooper Pratt adds further depth to Milwaukee’s strong middle infield pipeline. He hit .238 with eight home runs and 27 stolen bases across Single-A and High-A in 2025.
Known for his defensive ability and improving plate discipline, Pratt significantly reduced his strikeout rate last season. While he may not possess the same power ceiling as some of Milwaukee’s other infield prospects, his contact skills and defensive reliability could make him a valuable big-league contributor.
Milwaukee Brewers Rivals in 2026
The Brewers’ path to the postseason runs directly through the National League Central. Two rivalries in particular could shape the 2026 MLB playoff race.
The I-94 Series: Brewers vs. Cubs
The Brewers and Chicago Cubs remain one of the fiercest rivalries in the NL Central. Separated by just 83 miles along Interstate 94, the geographic proximity fuels intense matchups between the two fan bases.
Both teams were among the National League’s top contenders in 2025 and appear poised to compete again in 2026. Milwaukee narrowly lost last season’s series 6–7, with a run differential of just four runs — a testament to how competitive these games have become.
The Brewers and Cubs will meet in four series in 2026, and those matchups could once again impact NL Central standings and postseason seeding:
- May 18–20: @ Wrigley Field (Chicago)
- June 26–28: vs. Chicago Cubs (American Family Field)
- August 31–September 3: @ Wrigley Field (Chicago)
- September 7–9: vs. Chicago Cubs (American Family Field)
The Suds Series: Brewers vs. Cardinals
The Brewers–Cardinals rivalry dates back decades, including the 1982 World Series when St. Louis defeated Milwaukee in seven games. After the Brewers moved to the National League in 1998, the rivalry became a consistent divisional battle.
Since the late 2000s, both franchises have regularly competed for the NL Central crown and postseason positioning. The rivalry intensified in 2011, when the Cardinals defeated the Brewers in the NLCS on their way to a World Series championship.
The nickname “Suds Series” reflects both cities’ historic ties to the brewing industry — a fitting backdrop for one of the Midwest’s most competitive baseball rivalries.
In 2026, the Brewers and Cardinals will face off 13 times:
- May 4–6: @ Busch Stadium (St. Louis)
- May 25–27: vs. St. Louis Cardinals (Milwaukee)
- July 6–9: @ Busch Stadium (St. Louis)
- September 25–27: vs. St. Louis Cardinals (Milwaukee)
