More than 10.7 million viewers tuned in to watch the Milwaukee Brewers defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 in the National League Championship Series Game 1, as reported by Fox Sports. The game, held on October 11 at American Family Field in Milwaukee, has been identified as the most-watched LCS Game 1 since 2005 and the overall most-watched since 2010.

The turning point occurred in the bottom of the fifth inning when Brewers right fielder Luis Lara hit an RBI single, putting the Brewers ahead by a run. According to Fox Sports, the television audience for the Game 1 NLCS was twice as large as the 5.2 million viewers who watched the ALCS Game 1 between the Mariners and Blue Jays in 2025.

The peak number of viewers for the Brewers versus Dodgers game was approximately 12.4 million on Fox during the initial part of the broadcast, which began with Brewers starting pitcher Jacob Misiorowski on the mound. The Brewers now face the decision of whether to play Game 4 on Thursday, October 15 or Game 5 on Friday, October 16, depending on the outcome of the series.
