Brewers-Dodgers NLCS prediction, schedule, scores, and more

The 2026 National League Championship Series (NLCS) kicks off Sunday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers renew their rivalry, following a four-game sweep by the Dodgers in last year’s postseason. The Brewers, who claimed home-field advantage by finishing atop the NL standings, aim to return to the World Series for the first time since their 1982 title loss.

The series marks the third matchup between the two teams this season, with Milwaukee edging the regular-season showdowns, winning four of seven games. The Dodgers, however, bring a star-studded roster and a $339 million payroll, fueling their pursuit of a historic three-peat.

The NLCS begins at 8:00 p.m. ET on October 11, with Game 1 airing on FOX.

If necessary, the series could stretch to a Game 7 on October 19. The Brewers’ regular-season dominance and playoff experience—including a strong August series win—pose a formidable challenge to the Dodgers’ postseason pedigree.

Both teams enter with high expectations, but the Brewers’ momentum and home advantage could prove decisive in this high-stakes rematch.
