What channel is Brewers vs Cubs on this weekend? Time, TV, streaming, radio

Wrigley Field isn't exactly American Family Field South, but it could have a few more Milwaukee Brewers fans in the stands than normal for an early May series against the Chicago Cubs.

And not just because it's only a 90-mile drive away.

This specific I-94 rivalry weekend is the first regular-season series with the Cubs since Whitefish Bay native Craig Counsell left Milwaukee to shockingly manage the Cubs. So it's the first chance for displeased Brewers fans to exchange certain pleasantries with Counsell since he left.

Both teams are tied for third in the National League in wins, with 19, so it should be an entertaining series.

Sunday's matchup features Brewers ace Freddy Peralta (3-0, 3.21 ERA) against Chicago's Javier Asaad (2-0, 1.97 ERA).

Here's how to keep eyes or ears on the games on the Windy City's north side this weekend:
