In their 56th season, the Milwaukee Brewers set a new franchise record with a 97-65 regular-season record. They became the first team since the 2022 Seattle Mariners to win 14 straight games in August, and clinched a playoff berth on September 13 before winning the NL Central on September 21 with a 6.5-game comeback over the Chicago Cubs. On September 27, they secured home-field advantage throughout the MLB postseason when the Phillies lost. The Brewers faced the Cubs in the NLDS—the first I-94 rivalry postseason series—winning in five games, but were then swept by the eventual repeat champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS, despite having swept the Dodgers 6-0 during the regular season. They also drew the highest average home attendance (32,717) of any Wisconsin baseball team, though their season started with an 11-1 home opener loss to the Royals.
