The Brewers haven't been back to a World Series since losing in 1982.\n\nThis year's Brewers arrive as the top seed in all of baseball with 103 wins, a repeat of their seeding last postseason, which didn't translate into results against Los Angeles. The regular-season head-to-head was tight, with the Brewers going 4-3 against the Dodgers while LA held a narrow 27-25 edge in total runs scored.\n\nThe full schedule has Game 2 on Monday, October 12 at 5:00 p.m. on FOX/FS1, Game 3 shifting to Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 14 at 8:00 p.m. on FS1, with Game 4 following on Thursday.\n\nThe winner advances to the World Series to face either the Rays or the Guardians, the two other remaining teams, with the Dodgers chasing a three-peat and the Brewers still looking for their first championship.","published_at":"2026-10-12T17:03:19.018988+00:00","source_count":5,"written_from":[{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"How to watch Dodgers vs. Brewers: NLCS Game 2 TV channel and streaming options for October 12","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7683919/2026/10/12/dodgers-vs-brewers-stream-how-to-watch-oct-12/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"NLCS Game 1 open chat","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nlcs-game-1-open-chat-000000955.html"},{"outlet":"SB Nation","publisher":"SB Nation","title":"Brewers-Dodgers NLCS prediction, schedule, scores, and more","url":"https://www.sbnation.com/mlb/1131934/brewers-dodgers-nlcs-prediction-schedule-scores-and-more"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Dodgers vs. Brewers prediction, odds, time: 2026 NLCS Game 1 picks for Sunday, Oct. 11, by model","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/betting/news/dodgers-brewers-prediction-odds-time-2026-nlcs-game-1-picks/"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Who is going to the World Series?
