Overview
The Milwaukee Brewers finally made it to the top in 2026, vanquishing the Tampa Bay Rays to capture the franchise's first World Series championship.
After years of pounding on the door, with eight postseason appearances in the last nine seasons, the Brewers stuck to their game, refined their approach and earned their first World Series berth since 1982.

Pat Murphy's squad played a proudly Milwaukee brand of baseball and proved that anyone could be a hero on this path to victory.
