The Milwaukee Brewers have unveiled their game schedule for the 2026 season, and it's a home run for fans eager for the action to begin! But with so many games and varying start times, it's a complex lineup that might leave some fans scratching their heads.
A Dramatic Opening Day: The Brewers' opening day on March 26 promises an exciting clash with the Chicago White Sox, with the first pitch scheduled for 1:10 p.m. at American Family Field. This early afternoon start sets the tone for a thrilling season ahead.
Night Games: A Consistent Rhythm: Most Monday to Friday night games will follow a consistent rhythm, with first pitches at 6:40 p.m. However, two games break the pattern: the June 26 game against the Chicago Cubs (6:45 p.m.) and the July 1 showdown with the Cincinnati Reds (7:10 p.m.). And this is where it gets interesting...
Day Games: A Shifting Schedule: Day games during the week have a more dynamic schedule. In April and May, these games will start at 12:40 p.m., except for the Memorial Day game, which will be a slightly later 1:10 p.m. But from June onwards, the start time shifts to 1:10 p.m., except for two games in July and August, which will begin at 3:10 p.m. Talk about keeping fans on their toes!
Saturday and Sunday Games: A Weekend Twist: Weekend games bring a different rhythm. Saturday home games will start at either 3:10 p.m. or 6:10 p.m., except for four games with slightly later start times. And here's the part most fans will appreciate: Sunday home games will consistently begin at 1:10 p.m., except for the season finale against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sept. 27, which will start at 2:10 p.m.
Spring Training: A Preview of the Action: The Brewers' spring training games in Arizona will mostly begin at 1:10 p.m. local time, except for two games with later starts. The Spring Breakout Game on March 20 will be a special one, kicking off at 2:10 p.m. And don't miss the two exhibition games against the Cincinnati Reds at American Family Field, offering a preview of the regular season's excitement.
With such a detailed schedule, the Brewers are ensuring fans can plan their attendance well in advance. But what do you think about these start times?
