The most important channels for Brewers fans
As you can see from the Brewers TV schedule we publish below, the bulk of regular season Brewers games are broadcast by Bally Sports Wisconsin, the regional sports network (RSN) that carries the Brewers, Bucks, and some Wisconsin Badgers games.
When the Brewers are on national TV, ESPN, FOX, FS1, MLB Network, and TBS will carry the game. On occasion, the Brewers might also be featured on Apple TV+ or Peacock in an exclusive “streaming only” broadcast. When the Brewers appear on the “big stage” national games, Bally Sports Wisconsin will be blacked out.

The best option for local Brewers fans
With the addition of Bally Sports regional sports networks to fuboTV, the platform is an excellent choice for in-market Brewers fans. You can follow the Brewers all season with a fuboTV subscription.
DirecTV Stream keeps the Bally sports channels in its “Choice” package, which costs over $1,000 per year.
The good news is that DirecTV Stream gets you the Brewers, Bucks, and the Green Bay Packers (not on Bally Sports Wisconsin), plus some popular local college teams.
In Milwaukee, NFL fans can watch the Packers on WITI, FOX 6 Milwaukee, and on ESPN when Aaron Rodgers and company appear on Monday Night Football.

If you don’t live in Milwaukee
Although it’s near impossible to determine the exact borders of some regional sports networks, we estimate that Bally Sports Wisconsin is available in Wisconsin, Eastern Minnesota, Western UP, and Northwestern Illinois and Iowa. Outside of these areas, out-of-market Brewers fans will have to buy an MLB.TV package if they want to follow along all summer with Milwaukee baseball.
MLB.TV is the premium out-of-market option for MLB fans. With MLB.TV fans can circumvent the regional broadcast rules and watch any game they like, including Brewers games. If you want to follow just one team all summer, the rate drops to a one-time annual fee of $109.99.
ESPN+ – see Brewers games every so often
ESPN+ carries one out-of-market MLB game per day during the regular season. While adding ESPN+ won’t allow you to follow the Brewers all season, you will get a diverse lineup of teams, and may get treated to a Brewers game once in a blue moon.
