Despite losing reigning NL MVP Christian Yelich for the season, the Milwaukee Brewers refuse to die. The club remains very much alive in the NL Central and Wild Card races with the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals.

Milwaukee Brewers fans who also happen to be cable TV cord cutters have a number of ways to watch the Brew Crew down the stretch.

Out-of-market Brewers streaming

If you're a Brewers fan living outside of the Milwaukee area, you can't watch the Brewers on Fox Sports Wisconsin. You can, however, stream the club's games live with an MLB.TV subscription.

You've got two options:

  • Pay $27 for the rest of the regular season to be able to watch every out-of-market game live or on-demand, and the in-market (home) team with a 90-minute delay from the end of the game.
  • Pay $16 for the rest of the regular season to watch a single, out-of-market team. In this case, the Brew Crew and nobody else.

Both MLB.TV plans also include streams of home and away radio broadcasts. The radio broadcasts aren't subject to the blackout rule, so you can listen to home team games live.
