The Milwaukee Brewers advanced to the National League Championship Series by defeating the San Diego Padres three games to one in their best-of-five series. The team now turns its attention to a familiar postseason opponent, the Los Angeles Dodgers, with the opening game scheduled for Sunday at American Family Field.
Brewers Prepare for NLCS Against Los Angeles Dodgers
- Postseason Advancement: The Brewers secured their fourth NLCS appearance in franchise history, and their fifth overall league championship series appearance dating back to the 1982 ALCS.
- Schedule Milestones: The upcoming series against the Los Angeles Dodgers opens on Sunday, October 11, at American Family Field, with subsequent games alternating between Milwaukee and Los Angeles through mid-October.
- Ticketing and Access: Limited postseason tickets remain available via the official Brewers web portal, alongside season ticket membership options for the 2027 season.
Securing the Series Victory Over San Diego
The Brewers clinched the best-of-five series 3-1 behind a series of standout moments dubbed by the franchise as their mission to “Win Our Way.” Key plays throughout the matchup included a dramatic walkoff double by Jackson Chourio in game two and a defensive home run robbery executed by Garrett Mitchell on a Wednesday night.
This advancement marks the fourth time the franchise has reached the NLCS. Historically, the organization also reached the American League Championship Series during their 1982 World Series run, bringing their total league championship series appearances to five.
Renewing a Postseason Rivalry Against Los Angeles
In the next round, Milwaukee faces the Los Angeles Dodgers, who secured their own advancement by defeating the Atlanta Braves. The two teams share recent postseason history, having met in both the 2018 league championship round and the NLCS last year.
The series schedule is set to begin on Sunday, October 11, at American Family Field, though exact game times remain contingent on the resolution of the American League series. The schedule outlines games on Monday, October 12, in Milwaukee, followed by games at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday, October 14, Thursday, October 15, and an optional game on Friday, October 16.
