Brewers 2026 season: how they got here
The Brewers had the best regular season in franchise history. They won 103 games, their first 100-win season ever, won the NL Central, and earned MLB's No. 1 overall seed, which gives them home-field advantage through the World Series. As a top-two seed in the National League, Milwaukee skipped the Wild Card Series with a first-round bye for the second straight year.
Their NLDS opponent is the No. 4-seed San Diego Padres, who swept the Chicago Cubs in the Wild Card Series. San Diego won the regular-season series against Milwaukee 4-2, and this is the first postseason meeting between the two clubs.

How to watch the Brewers game today
Postseason TV works differently from the regular season. During the regular season most Brewers games are on the team's local broadcast, but every NLDS game is a national broadcast on FOX or FS1 under MLB's 2026 postseason TV schedule.
- TV: FS1 (English) and FOX Deportes (Spanish). FS1 is included in most cable and satellite packages and in live TV streaming services that carry FOX Sports channels, such as YouTube TV and Fubo.
- Streaming: FOX One streams the FOX and FS1 broadcasts.
- MLB.TV: According to MLB.com, postseason games are available on MLB.TV only with pay-TV authentication, so a regular MLB.TV subscription alone is not enough.
- Spanish TV beyond FOX Deportes: MLB says Spanish-language postseason coverage is also distributed on Universo and Univision.
