Past studies of the Brauer group of a scheme tells us the importance of the interrelationship among Brauer groups of its finite \'etale coverings. In this paper, we consider these groups simultaneously, and construct an integrated object "Brauer-Mackey functor". We realize this as a {\it cohomological Mackey functor} on the Galois category of finite \'etale coverings. For any finite \'etale covering of schemes, we can associate two homomorphisms for Brauer groups, namely the pull-back and the norm map. These homomorphisms make Brauer groups into a bivariant functor ($=$ Mackey functor) on the Galois category. As a corollary, Restricting to a finite Galois covering of schemes, we obtain a cohomological Mackey functor on its Galois group. This is a generalization of the result for rings by Ford. Moreover, applying Bley and Boltje's theorem, we can derive certain isomorphisms for the Brauer groups of intermediate coverings.
