Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Rob Zastryzny (58) and catcher William Contreras (24) celebrate an 8-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in nine innings at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Sept. 12, 2025.

The Milwaukee Brewers have clinched the first MLB playoff spot of the 2025 season.

The Brewers have the best record in the league and lead the NL Central. The team earned at least a wild-card spot in the playoffs after the New York Mets' 3-2 loss to the Texas Rangers on Saturday.

Since 1970, it will be just the 11th time that Milwaukee will appear in the playoffs. The Brewers have reached the postseason six times in the last seven years but haven’t won a series since 2018.

The Brewers set a franchise record by winning 14 consecutive games in August.

Brewers' remaining regular-season games:

  • Sept. 14: St. Louis Cardinals
  • Sept. 16-18: Los Angeles Angels
  • Sept. 19-21: at St. Louis Cardinals
  • Sept. 22-24: San Diego Padres
  • Sept. 26-28: Cincinnati Reds
