If you’re sitting there checking your phone and wondering what time are the Brewers on today, I’ve got some news that might be a little bit of a letdown. It’s January 15, 2026. Look outside. Unless you’re in Arizona or Florida, it’s freezing.
Basically, there is no Brewers game today.
Baseball is a summer game, and right now, we are smack in the middle of the "Hot Stove" season. That means the only thing the Brewers are doing today is making phone calls, scouting talent, and maybe arguing over arbitration numbers. The players aren't even at Spring Training yet. They’re mostly working out in private gyms or posting videos of their swing on Instagram.
When Do the Brewers Actually Play?
I know, it’s a bummer. We all want to hear the crack of the bat and see the racing sausages, but we have a few weeks to go. The 2026 schedule is already out, so we can actually look at the calendar and start the countdown.

Honestly, the first time you’ll see the Brew Crew in action is February 21, 2026. That’s the Cactus League opener. They’re playing the Cleveland Guardians at American Family Fields of Phoenix.
The first pitch for that one is scheduled for 1:10 PM MST, which is 2:10 PM for us back in Milwaukee.
The 2026 Spring Training Start
The schedule for the first few days of Spring Training looks like this:

- February 21: vs. Cleveland Guardians (1:10 PM MST / 2:10 PM CST)
- February 22: Split-squad day. One group stays home to face the Kansas City Royals at 1:10 PM MST, while the other group travels to Glendale to play the White Sox at 1:05 PM MST.
- February 23: On the road against the San Diego Padres in Peoria at 1:10 PM MST.
What Time Are the Brewers on Today During the Regular Season?
If you're reading this later in the year and the season has actually started, you’re probably looking for the standard game times. The Brewers have a pretty consistent rhythm for their home games at American Family Field.
For most 2026 home games, you can bank on these times:
- Night Games: Usually 6:40 PM CST. They moved away from the 7:10 PM starts a while back to make it easier for families and people who actually have to wake up for work the next day.
- Sunday Games: Almost always 1:10 PM CST. It’s the classic getaway day time.
- Businessperson Specials: Occasionally, you’ll see a Wednesday or Thursday game at 12:10 PM or 1:10 PM. These are the best days to "work from home" while sitting in the loge level.
Opening Day 2026
Mark your calendars: March 26, 2026. The Brewers are opening the regular season at home against the Chicago White Sox. It’s going to be packed. Tailgating will start way before the first pitch, which is traditionally in the afternoon for the home opener.

How to Watch the Brewers in 2026
The TV landscape for baseball is kinda messy right now, but for 2026, most games will be on your local Regional Sports Network (RSN). If you’ve cut the cord, you’re likely looking at a streaming service like FuboTV or the direct-to-consumer app that the team uses.
One interesting thing for 2026: The Brewers are going to be on Peacock three times. NBC and Peacock signed a deal to bring "Sunday Night Baseball" and "MLB Sunday Leadoff" back in a big way. For example, the Brewers play the Baltimore Orioles on September 20, 2026, and that’s a Peacock exclusive at 7:00 PM ET. If you try to find that on your normal cable channel, you’re going to be staring at a blank screen.
Why People Get Confused About Game Times
Sometimes you'll see a game listed at one time on one site and a different time somewhere else. Usually, it's just a time zone thing. Phoenix (where they do Spring Training) doesn't observe Daylight Saving Time. That makes the math annoying.
Also, MLB occasionally moves games for national broadcasts. ESPN might decide a Brewers-Cubs game is spicy enough for Sunday Night Baseball, and suddenly that 1:10 PM game is pushed to 6:00 PM. Always check the official MLB app about 24 hours before first pitch just to be safe.
Actionable Next Steps for Fans
Since the Brewers aren't on today, here is what you can actually do to get your baseball fix:
- Sync your digital calendar: Go to the official Brewers website and download the 2026 schedule directly to your Google or Apple calendar. It’ll auto-update with time changes.
- Check the "Hot Stove" news: Follow beat writers like Adam McCalvy on social media. This is the time of year when trades happen, and that’s the closest thing to "the game" we have right now.
- Ticket Sales: Single-game tickets for 2026 usually go on sale in February. If you want those Opening Day seats against the White Sox, you’ll need to be ready the minute they drop.
- Plan your Spring Training trip: If you’re heading to Phoenix in late February, book your flights now. Maryvale is a great place to see the team up close before the pressure of the regular season kicks in.
