MILWAUKEE (WSAW) – Major League Baseball has announced it will produce and distribute local games for the Milwaukee Brewers for the 2025 season.

MLB says the new arrangement will give fans more options to watch their favorite teams on television or to stream digitally.

Milwaukee had a direct-to-consumer streaming option available with their previous local media arrangement and will continue to do so with MLB moving forward.

More information about where and how fans can watch will be made available closer to the 2025 season.

The arrangements with the Guardians, Brewers, and Twins will be similar to how MLB produced and distributed games for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies, and San Diego Padres during the 2024 season.

“With the media landscape continuing to evolve, Major League Baseball is committed to serving our fans by ensuring they can see their favorite clubs, removing blackouts where we can, and ultimately growing the reach of our games,” Noah Garden, MLB Deputy Commissioner of business and media, said.

Local games produced by MLB last year included special features normally associated with nationally televised games including Ump Cam, live look-ins to the MLB Replay Operations Center, Wire Cam, on-field locations for pregame and postgame, new RF camera with a shallow depth-of-field look, and increased access like in-game interviews with players.

Since 2009, Major League Baseball has owned and operated MLB Network, which has produced live games for 16 seasons.

Additional teams also making the switch include the Cleveland Guardians and Minnesota Twins. The Texas Rangers have announced they will consider their local media options for the 2025 season after leaving Bally Sports.
