The Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers face off in the 2026 NLCS, with Sunday's Game 1 set to tip off at 8:00 p.m. on FOX. This is a rematch of last year's NLCS, in which the Dodgers swept the Brewers in four games and went on to win the World Series. The Brewers aim to avenge their 2025 loss and could return to the World Series for the first time since 1982.
Scheduled games include Game 2 on Monday, October 12 at 5:00 p.m., followed by Game 3 on Wednesday, October 14, and Game 4 on Thursday, October 15. The series is set to continue on Friday, October 16, with the Brewers hosting the Dodgers at 9:00 p.m. on FS1, and Game 6 on Sunday, October 18. Game 7 could occur on Monday, October 19, if necessary.
The regular season saw the Brewers secure four out of seven matchups, but playoffs history indicates the series matters less. Key factors include the Dodgers' pursuit of a three-peat and $339-million payroll, the Brewers' strong regular season performance and home-field advantage, and Shohei Ohtani's impact, particularly his recent struggles at the plate.
The Brewers' pitching rotation for the NLCS is set, with Jacob Misiorowski starting Game 1 and Logan Henderson projected for Game 2, giving the Brewers a better chance to succeed against the Dodgers.
