The Milwaukee Brewers made trades during the winter that were initially confusing to observers. However, the team is now set to enhance fan engagement by airing 10 games on over-the-air stations in Wisconsin starting in 2026.
The first over-the-air broadcast will take place on March 26 against the Chicago White Sox, coinciding with the team’s Opening Day. This initiative aims to provide free access to the games, allowing more fans to follow the Brewers throughout the season.
WITI-TV in Milwaukee will simulcast the 10 games, which will also be available on Brewers.TV. The broadcasts will include a series of Tuesday night games, with a total of six scheduled throughout the season.
Key channels participating in this broadcasting initiative include WGBA-TV, WACY-TV, WISC-TV, TVW, WKBT-TV, WSAW-TV, WZAW-LD, WYOW, KDLH-TV, and KBJR-TV. This broad coverage is expected to significantly increase the visibility of the Brewers in the local market.
In addition to the broadcasting news, the Brewers have made notable roster changes. Kyle Harrison, recently traded from the Boston Red Sox, has shown impressive performance in spring training, recording 14 strikeouts in just 10 innings. Harrison is being viewed as a top breakout candidate for the upcoming season.
Robert Murray, a sports analyst, commented on Harrison’s potential, stating, “Everything I’m hearing from folks across the industry is that Harrison looks different in Milwaukee, that he finally appears to be in position to maximize his massive talent.” He further noted, “Harrison is more talented than almost anyone this organization has gotten their hands on. The upside here could be scary.”
On the other hand, the Brewers also traded Caleb Durbin to the Red Sox in early February 2026, marking a significant shift in their roster strategy.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact channels for cable and satellite packages that will carry the Brewers games. However, the team’s commitment to increasing accessibility for fans is clear as they prepare for the 2026 season.
