🍺 Brewers Fans — Rep the 103-Win Crew!
The first 100-win season in franchise history, a four-game sweep of the Dodgers for the pennant, and the World Series back in Milwaukee — real fans don’t just watch history, they wear it. Grab a Milwaukee-style pinstripe jersey with your favorite star’s number and rep American Family Field everywhere you go.
The Club
The Milwaukee Brewers are living the dream 44 years in the making. Founded in 1969 as the Seattle Pilots and in Milwaukee since 1970, the Brewers play at American Family Field in navy blue and gold — and they are going to the World Series. Milwaukee owns zero World Series titles; the only previous Fall Classic trip came in 1982, when the franchise was still in the American League and fell to the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games. For four decades, Brewers fans measured every season against that ’82 team. As of this week, they don’t have to anymore.

#11 Chourio — Milwaukee Brewers Style Home Jersey
The October hero’s number. White pinstripes with the navy and gold arched Brewers lettering — the jersey of the youngest superstar in the game.
Last Season (2026): 103 Wins and the Pennant
103-59. First in the NL Central. The best record in baseball. Read that again: the Milwaukee Brewers won 103 games — the first 100-win season in franchise history, shattering the 97-win mark set just last year — and captured their fourth straight NL Central title, the first team in division history to win four in a row. They clinched on September 15 with a 5-1 win in Pittsburgh (the Cubs did the rest by losing to Atlanta), then earned the bye and went to work: a 3-1 NLDS win over the San Diego Padres, followed by the sweetest revenge in franchise history — a four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, the two-time defending champions who had swept Milwaukee a year earlier. The Brewers became the first club ever to complete a postseason sweep immediately after being swept by that same opponent. The World Series opens October 23 at American Family Field, against the Rays-Guardians survivor.
Best Players Right Now (2027 Roster)
Jackson Chourio, 22, Left Field — The October hero. The 22-year-old Venezuelan batted leadoff all postseason, homered and drove in the winning run in the NLDS, and plays the game at full sprint. The face of the next decade.
William Contreras, Catcher — The heartbeat. The middle-of-the-order bat and the man guiding a young pitching staff through October. Everything runs through him.
Jacob Misiorowski, Starting Pitcher — The ace. Went 15-5 with a 1.89 ERA and led all of baseball in strikeouts. Hitters look genuinely uncomfortable in the box against him.
Christian Yelich, Designated Hitter — The captain. The veteran voice who steadied the clubhouse through the 2025 humiliation and led the charge back. His October words — stay together, keep chipping away — became the team’s mantra.
Brice Turang, Second Base — The table-setter. Elite defense up the middle and a pest at the plate; the perfect No. 2 hitter behind Chourio.
Garrett Mitchell, Center Field — The NLCS Game 4 hero. His sixth-inning go-ahead homer off Tanner Scott broke the Dodgers — a 409-foot no-doubter on an 0-2 pitch.
Jake Bauers, First Base — The grinder. Started the Game 4 comeback with a two-run double and added the tying bases-loaded walk. Playoff baseball suits him.
Joey Ortiz, Shortstop/Third Base — The gamer. Played through injury all October and never came out of the lineup. Coaches’ favorite, fans’ favorite.
Sal Frelick, Right Field — The spark plug. Speed, defense and energy — the kind of player winning teams always seem to have.
Logan Henderson, Starting Pitcher — The No. 2. Right behind Misiorowski in the rotation pecking order, and just as fearless.
Aaron Ashby, Relief Pitcher — The bullpen ace. Three scoreless innings for the save in the NLCS clincher — his second of the postseason. When the game is on the line, he gets the ball.
Cooper Pratt, 22, Shortstop — The kid. Started playoff games at 22 and looked like he belonged. Along with 21-year-old Luis Lara, proof the pipeline is loaded.
Manager: Pat Murphy — Chasing history. Already a two-time NL Manager of the Year, Murphy is now going for three straight — something no manager has ever done — and a ring to go with them.

Star Spotlight: Stories You Should Know
The sweep that erased .118. The 2025 NLCS was the lowest point in franchise history: swept by the Dodgers while hitting .118 as a team — the worst offensive performance in any seven-game postseason series ever. One year later, same opponent, same round — and Milwaukee swept THEM in four straight, outscoring the two-time defending champs and punching the first World Series ticket since 1982. “They may have a bunch of Hall of Famers, but we’ve got a bunch of gamers — and the gamers won this week,” Pat Murphy said. No team had ever done that before.
Misiorowski’s coronation. A 15-5 record, a 1.89 ERA, and the most strikeouts in baseball. Jacob Misiorowski didn’t just become the Brewers’ ace in 2026 — he became one of the most feared pitchers on the planet, and he did it while the franchise chased (and caught) its first 100-win season. October aces are made, not born; Milwaukee watched one get made.
103 wins, four straight crowns. Before 2026, no Brewer team had ever won 100 games. This one won 103 — with the second-most runs scored in baseball (832) and the second-best ERA (3.51), built on pitching, defense and relentless at-bats rather than home runs (just 154, 28th in the league). And it’s the fourth consecutive NL Central championship — a division first. Small payroll, big results: the most Milwaukee story ever told.

Next Season (2027): Defend the Crown
Whatever happens starting October 23, the Brewers open 2027 as the team to beat in the National League — with a core that keeps getting younger. Chourio is 22. Pratt is 22. Lara is 21. Misiorowski is just entering his prime, and the bullpen is deep enough to survive anything. The farm system keeps delivering, the payroll stays efficient, and Murphy’s culture is the envy of the sport. The Dodgers will be back for revenge, the Cubs are coming off an 89-win season, and the Padres aren’t going anywhere — but for the first time in franchise history, Milwaukee gets to play the season as the hunted. One cloud over everything: the collective bargaining agreement expires December 1, and a lockout could delay the title defense. If baseball is played on time, the road to the 2027 pennant goes through American Family Field.
Mark Your Calendar: Upcoming Games to Watch
Wondering when the Brewers play? Forget 2027 for a second — the Brewers schedule starts with the biggest games in 44 years of franchise history. Grab your Brewers tickets now:
- October 23 — World Series Game 1 (American Family Field): The Fall Classic returns to Milwaukee for the first time since 1982. The opponent: the Rays-Guardians ALCS survivor. The whole state of Wisconsin will be watching.
- October 24 — World Series Game 2 (American Family Field): Two home games to open the Series — the loudest building in baseball gets two chances to will this team to a title.
- Late March 2027 — Opening Day: All 30 teams open March 25. The defending NL champions raise the pennant — and the ring ceremony can’t be far behind.
- July 13, 2027 — All-Star Game (Wrigley Field, Chicago): The Midsummer Classic comes to Wrigley — expect a heavy Brewers contingent, and expect the blue-and-gold traveling party to be loud.
- Summer 2027 — First Cubs series at American Family Field: The rivalry that defined the division all decade, now with Milwaukee as the reigning kings. Circle it the day the schedule drops.
Biggest Rivalries — The Wars
1. Chicago Cubs — THE war. The I-94 rivalry: 89 wins and a wild card in 2026, the 2025 NLDS Game 5 heartbreak Milwaukee handed them, and two fanbases that genuinely can’t stand each other. The division runs through this matchup.
2. St. Louis Cardinals — the old scar. They beat Milwaukee in the 1982 World Series — the only other Fall Classic in franchise history. Forty-four years later, every Cardinals series still carries that weight.
3. Los Angeles Dodgers — the fresh war. They humiliated the Brewers in the 2025 NLCS (.118!). Milwaukee answered with a four-game sweep in the 2026 NLCS. This one is personal now, and it’s not cooling off.
4. Cincinnati Reds — the division grind. Never the headliner, always the headache. The Reds play Milwaukee tough every single year, and division titles are won in games like these.
