The 2025 National League Championship Series (NLCS) was the best-of-seven playoff in Major League Baseball's 2025 postseason between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Los Angeles Dodgers for the National League (NL) pennant and the right to play in the 2025 World Series. The series began on October 13 and ended on October 17. The Dodgers won the series in a four-game sweep to become National League (NL) champions and advance to the World Series for the second consecutive year. Two-way player Shohei Ohtani won the NLCS MVP for his three home runs, six innings pitched, no runs allowed, ten strikeout performance in Game 4 to secure the sweep. This was the first sweep in an NLCS since 2019.
The Dodgers gave up just four runs in the series (one run each game), and the Brewers hit .118, which was the lowest ever batting average of any team in the postseason in a series of at least three games.
The games were televised on TBS and TruTV, and streamed on HBO Max in the United States. UniMás broadcast the series in Spanish.
