The Milwaukee Brewers 2025 home-opening game will be against the Kansas City Royals on March 31 with first pitch scheduled for 1:10 p.m.
The Brewers will take at the American Family Field diamond that day for the first time since the loss of the beloved Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Uecker, who died on Jan. 16 just shy of his 91st birthday.
Opening Day will include several remembrances, including Ueck’s signature across the outfield grass, a moment of silence and the Milwaukee debut of the Uecker jersey patch on the uniforms of all on-field personnel.
It’s time to pick your Milwaukee favorites for the year!
There will be additional nods to Uecker throughout the game. The Brewers also announced that there will be a full public celebration of life for Ueck will be hosted by the Brewers in August with more details announced later this spring.
The Crew will host the Royals for three games (March 31-April 2) and will then continue the homestand with a four-game series against the Cincinnati Reds (April 3-6). Milwaukee opens the season with a three-game series (March 27, 29 and 30) in New York against the Yankees.
Fans can look forward to unique experiences beginning with Opening Day:
- The Brewers will be offering an exclusive Jackson Chourio T-shirt with select Opening Day Terrace Level seats.
- Fans can stop by the pedestrian bridge to participate in trivia sessions with in-game hosts Nicole and Carrie, hop in the Brew Crew photo booth and meet Brewers mascots, who will make appearances throughout the morning leading up to the game. Pregame entertainment will include drumline performances from both Ronald Reagan High School and South Division High School and dance performances from the Milwaukee Dancing Grannies.
- DJ King James and DJ Rick Jules will help get the party started near both the pedestrian bridge and the clock tower. The 5 Card Studs will rock the Miller Lite Landing from the opening of the ballpark gates until pregame ceremonies begin. DJ EJ will keep the energy going throughout the game and between innings.
- Milwaukee-based singer and songwriter Allison Mahal will perform the national anthem for the home opener, with Valkyrie, a bald eagle from the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center, on field. A giant American flag will also be unraveled across the outfield of American Family Field and be held by Brewers Season Seat Holders.
- Opening Day T-shirts and novelty items will be available in the Brewers Team Store. The Bob Uecker jersey patch is available for $12, with proceeds benefitting Ueck’s preferred charities, in all Brewers Team Store locations to be applied to any MLB licensed Brewers jersey.
- All ticketed fans who enter the gates will receive a 2025 magnetic schedule.
- “The Alley” Food Truck Park, new this season, will be located on the left field Loge Level, with several local food truck vendors. The space also includes a new bar.
