Milwaukee Brewers Pivot On 2025 TV Plans; Make Revenue Making Change

The Milwaukee Brewers have changed course regarding their TV broadcasts for the 2025 season.  They previously had announced that MLB will stream their games.  Now the ball club has re-negotiated with FanDuel Sports Network, formerly Bally Sports, and the sides have agreed on a one year deal the presumably is a revenue making change for the Brewers.

Milwaukee Brewers – FanDuel Sports Network agree to a one year TV deal for the 2025 season

Brewers president of business operations Rick Schlesinger released the following statement regarding their decision to forego their commitment to MLB and pivot back to FanDuel.

“The decision to continue our rights agreement with FanDuel Sports Network ensures that fans will have seamless access to watch the Brewers in 2025, while enjoying the same high quality productions and roster of on-air talent that fans have enjoyed over the years.  We appreciate the efforts of Major League Baseball in supporting our continued long-term relationship with FanDuel Sports Network.”

Schlesinger went on to say that the ability to have 30 minutes of pre and post game shows was one big factor in switching back.  He also revealed that FanDuel approached Milwaukee and upped their offer from earlier in 2024.  This means that the Brewers will receive revenue from streaming their games, as opposed to forfeiting that money if MLB would have produced them.

How much money do the Milwaukee Brewers receive as a part of their new TV deal with FanDuel?

Teams typically do not announce the terms of their TV broadcasts, including revenue.  Last January, Anthony Franco of MLB Trade Rumors did a deep dive into the matter.  Forbes did report the Brewers revenue from broadcasts in 2022, which was $33 million.  It’s safe to assume Milwaukee is receiving more than what was reported in 2022, but the exact figure is unknown.

In addition to FanDuel Sports Network, the Brewers also announced that next year games will be accessible to fans via an add-on option on Amazon Prime.  For those that do not use streaming services, cable options include DirecTV, Spectrum, and Fubo.

So here are your TV options for the Brewers in 2025.

In-market cable: DirecTV, Spectrum, Fubo
